Kadri Manjunath Temple

Reviewed By lakshmih31 - Coimbatore, India

Situated in the heart of the city this huge temple is a divine place. The smaller temples of Aiyappa, Anjaneya, Ganesha, Durga Parameswari & Chandramouleeswara add to the splendour. The Kaasi Bhageerathi theertha from where water can be collected & used for abhishekam of the Shiva lingam by devotees is so unique. A must experience place.

Kudroli Gokarnath Temple

Reviewed By DiveshPatel - Ahmedabad, India

Visited a temple in the morning. Very well maintained temple. Most of southern temples are clean and this is no exception. Ample space to accommodate multiple devotees at a same time. The water fountain inside temple is done beautifully. Best time to visit will be during Dussehra time when the entire temple will be decorated but be ready for heavy crowd. Good temple nearby surrounding and pear was amazing.
