Karikaanamma or Shri Karikaan Parameshwari is a
Hindu goddess temple in the
Western Ghats in
Karnataka,
India, located near the town of
Honnavar, established by
Shreedhar Swami. Garbhagudi is carved out of a single rock. In 1970s when
Indira Gandhi visited the temple, roads were fully built up to uphill. It is located in the very dense forest, so it is a favorite spot for nature lovers. There are views of the
Arabian Sea from the top of the mountain.[1] It is dedicated to the deity
Kali (
Devanāgarī: काली).
[2] Ondadke or Vandadake Shambhulingehwara temple is also nearby to this place.
