Uppinangady

Uppinangady stands at the meeting of the Netravati and Kumaradhara rivers in the inland country east of Mangalore. The confluence is a sacred place, with the Sahasralingeshwara temple dedicated to Shiva beside the waters. Tradition associates the shrine with a thousand lingams, reflected in its name. The Kumaradhara descends from the Western Ghats, passing the sacred place of Kukke Subrahmanya before joining the Netravati; their combined waters continue west towards the Arabian Sea.
