This famous Somanatha Temple is situated around 17 Kms away from Mangalore. Its also called as Ullal Someshwara Temple since it is in Ullal. Here there are mainly two festivals celebrated, namely Shivarathri in February and the Annual festival in May. Here is a view of the temple from outside.
Temple Entrance:
This temple is situated on the rocks. And it has a beautiful beach on the other side. Its really a romantic place to visit. Here is a view of the beach from the temple.
Someshwara Beach:
Most of the people come here to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the temple. And moreover the beach, its simply superb. But don't enter the water as it is very risky to do so. Just relax on the rocks and enjoy the sunset during the evenings. The beach has some huge rocks intruding into the sea, and getting lashed by the angry waves. So do not venture into the sea. It is treacherous. Watch it from a safe distance. Here are some snaps clicked on the shore.

The Sunset:
If ever you visit Mangalore, do have a visit to this beautiful place as you will have a complete relax to your mind. Its a great place to spend your weekends.
