A brief History:                                                                                    Kadavinakatta dam

Bhatkal is the Town which covers many ancient monuments like Basti, Sultan Palli, Chinnnada Palli, Chandranath Basadi and a beautiful sight of Kadavinakatta dam built across the Venkatapur River. since it is an coastal town, we can also enjoy  the sea-sight along with the Light House.

Murdeshwar:

About 16 Kms. from Bhatkal, we come across  the  holy place called Murdeshwar, famous for gorgeous temple  and the beautiful sea shore. the temple, which embodies a Linga, is believed to have erupted when Ravana flung  the Atmalinga at Gokarna while lifting it. As one ascends the hillock, there is a shrine of Jattiga seated on a horse.

Gokarna:

About 95 Kms (appr. ) from Bhatkal and about 55 kms. from karwar , is situtated another historical place called Gokarna. it is described as a Shaiva Centre, as important as kashi and Rameshwar. History has it that the Atmalinga brought by Ravana got struck here and his efforts to extricate it resulted in his throwing the coverings of the Linga to Dhareshwar, Gunavanteshwara, Murdeshwar and Shejjeshwar temples
