点评:Gokarna Temple is very famous all over India which is located on Koti Teertha main Highway. The Shivaling is known as Atma Linga and was given to Ravana by Lord Shiva. This place is also considered as one of the sacred Mukti Stalas. This is one of the five Siva Linga's of Karnataka. This is one of the seven muktisthalas of Karnataka. Other Six Mukti Stalas are at Udupi, Subramanya, Kollur, Kumbasi, Sankaranarayana and Koteshwara.
This temple is beautifully built in Dravidian style architecture in the 4th Century. The Shiva Linga here in this temple is of a 6 feet tall. The top of the Atma Linga is the only part of the Linga that is visible to devotees and devotees can touch only the top of Linga which is like a shape of a Cow's ear. During the Aastha Bandana Kumbhabhishekam, is when the entire Atmalinga is shown to the Devotees. Kumbhabhishekam happens once every 40 years. As per custom, devotees first take a dip in the Gokarna beach, then visit the Maha Ganapathi temple that is opposite the temple, then only visit the Mahabaleshwar temple.
Sreepada Sreevallabha who is the first incarnation of lord Dattatreya lived three years here at Gokarna before going to Nivrithisangam and Kuruvapur and performed penance here.
