You see street of Gokarna, took this pic from our Guest House room. We paid Rs 600/ per day for a double room in Saujanya Guest House ie in town. There are hotels, shacks, tents at the beach as well but we booked late so had to make the best of wha we got. Gokarna means Cow``s Ear. It is a centre of piligramage and increasingly getting popular for its beaches. The town is about 200 kms north of Mangalore, can be reached from Goa and Hubli. It is well known for Mahaballeswara Temple ie dedicated to Lord Shiva and is often called the Kashi of the South since it is said to be next in sanctity only to the Vishwanath Siva Mandir at Varanasi.
