Shri Mahalasa Narayani Temple — Attraction in Karnataka

'Mahalasa' is another name for Lord Vishnu in the form of his incarnation as the enchantress 'Mohini'. Several temples dedicated to this avatar of Lord Vishnu can be found along the west coasts of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala amongst other places. This temple located on Car Street in Kumta is believed to be more than four hundred years old. When I visited at around 4 pm on a weekday, there weren't many devotees, but I was assured that the temple is quite famous in the area and the presiding deity is the 'kuldevta' of several devotees and the weekends and festivals see huge crowds...

It's a temple at the center of the city. 5 minutes Walkable distance from bus depot. The teak wood ceiling carvings, zhumbar and carvings in main prayer hall are good and massive. Calmness and peaceful atmosphere. You can sit and relax for a while in prayer hall. Easily accessible and main road touch. Must visit...

A nice temple inside the city of Kumta.

Not easily noticeable. No parking or other facilities.

But once you are inside the temple premises, you will forget everything.

Ideal for mediation.

Neatly built and managed.

Quite opposite to Kamakshi Temple.

Don't forget to give a visit.

May God...
