Kalasa Kaleeshwara Temple - A temple tour to Mangalore

                          
                         Actually the temple was closed when we went there.. we went up and saw the outside structures and came back. This temple has a history. During the wedding of Lord Shiva and Parvathi in Himalayas, all the God and Goddesses came to see the marriage. This caused the earth to be unbalanced. To balance that Shiva requested Agasthya to travel south. 
                        
                             Since Agasthya told that he needs to witness the wedding, Shiva gave him a divine vision, which made Agasthya to see the marriage being in any part of the world, and hence he travelled south to Kalasala.  The Girija Kalyana (marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvathi) is celebrated in Kalasa every year to commemorate this tradition

How to reach the temple:
           
Kalasa is located at a distance of about 300 km away from Bangalore. Busses operate from all over Mangalore.
