A divine place and one should visit to get blessings of lord Shiva @ Malahaanihareshwarar and Parvathy devi @ Bhavani amma. Temple is pretty old and you would be able to be understand it when you visit there. Sringeri mutt and acharyals rebuilt this temple and reincarnated. Please don't forget to see the Sthambha Ganapati. When H. H Abhinava Narashimha Bharathi the 24th Acharya in the early 17th century visited this temple for the frist time, he noticed the absence of any Ganesha image. Immediately taking up a piece of turmeric, he drew an outline of Ganesha on the pillar and offered puja. Ever since then, the murthi has been slowly but steadily bulging out in full relief making the granite stone hallow inside.
Walkable from Sharadhamba temple 500 meters and have to climb around 150 steps. Autos and cars can go till the hill top by an alternate route.
Darshan Timing: 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 NOON 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Read moreMalahanikareshwara (The Destroyer of Ills) is a very powerful aspect of Shiva. It's history is older than even that of the famed Sharadamba in Sringeri. The sage Vibhandaka, father of Rishyashringa - after whom this mountainous region is named as Shrinagiri (now Sringeri) - invoked Shiva into this Shivalinga. And after years of austerity was himself merged into it. The Sringeri Jagadgurus give due regard to this, recently renovating the entrance gopuram and the overall temple.
