Thodikana Mallikarjuna Temple | Dakshinakannada Ride Episode 2

Thodikana is an Indian village nestled in the foothills of the Western Ghats in southern Karnataka. It is in the Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district, about 100 km from Mangalore city. This village has much greenery and attracts visitors with its cultural and natural sites. Thodikana is known most for its Mallikarjuna temple, which was probably built sometime in the 13th century. The temple gets many hundreds of visitors each week. A few meters southeast of the temple there is a fish tank known as meenugundi. Visitors traditionally feed the fish raw rice. Killing the fish is forbidden. The temple offers free mid-day meals to pilgrims daily as a prasadam. A waterfall called Devaragundi is situated about 1.5 kilometers from the temple. Thodikana village is largely agricultural, with many arecanut (betelnut), coconut, rubber, vanilla, and pepper plantations.
