[www.keralites.net] Sahasralinga ( means 1,000 ) Many Shivalingas and Basavannas are carved on rocks in the river Shalmala.

 

Sahasralinga

Sahasralinga is an important pilgrimage place about 12km from Sirsi. The river flowing here is Shalmala. Many Shivalingas and Basavannas are carved on rocks inthe river. Sahasralinga means "Thousand Lingas" but I doubt that many can be found now.








The pallet is similar to the one I saw at Lepaksi.



My guess: Rama and Sita worshiping Shivalinga.


I heard that river Shalmala's birth place is in Dharwad, very close to Someswara Temple.
