Kankanady Garadi

Karnataka.
Dakshina Kannada.
Mangalore.


Festivals
Annual festival in January

      This famous temple is nearly 5 Kms away from Mangalore. It is located at Kankanady, east of Mahaveera Circle. This Circle is also called as Pump well Circle. This temple is one among 200 Garadies in Tulunadu. It was built more than 100 years ago. The twin heroes, Koti and Chennaya, who according to folk tradition, fought against exploitation, are now worshiped here. Daily poojas to Mahatma Gandhi is an added attraction. As far as I know this is the only temple were daily poojas are offered to Mahatma Gandhi.

     So don't forget to visit this place once you come to Mangalore...
