Why to visit Kadri Manjunatha Temple

This temple is built in the fundamental Vijaynagri style, which is typical of Hindu architecture. It is located at the foot of the Kadri hills, and Manjunatha is the main deity. Because it is situated on a hilltop, the temple is surrounded by caverns. Prehistoric cave paintings can be seen in these caverns.

Kadri was previously a Buddhist hotspot. Buddhism fell out of favour, and the Natha Prantha, a new religion, arose in its place. They were followers of Lord Shiva, and their followers were referred to as Jogis. The temple has undergone numerous renovations, with the current construction dating from the 14th century.

Lord Parasurama is also connected to the temple in some way. Lord Parashurama is reported to have been tasked with finding Lord Shiva a new home named Kadrivana. Lord Manjunatha remained here with his various desires, and the temple was built here with the help of Vishwakarma.
