Welcome to Shri Shishileshwara Temple (Shishila), Mangalore

🏛️ Temple History: The Shishileshwara Temple, nestled on the banks of the "Kapila River" in Shishila village, Belthangady Taluk, Karnataka, India, boasts a rich history spanning over 800 years.
This ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the deity of destruction and regeneration. Legend has it that the Linga here is self-manifested (Udbhava Linga), emerging near the spot where a devoted priest stumbled and fell while carrying water from the river.

🐟 Sacred Fishes and Miracles: The river near the temple is home to sacred fishes, lovingly fed by villagers with beaten rice and puffed rice as an offering.
These fish hold a special place in the hearts of devotees. In 1996, a tragic incident occurred when miscreants poisoned the river, resulting in the death of thousands of fish. A memorial stands beside the temple, reminding us of this unfortunate event.
Today, the Shishila Temple Fish Sanctuary protects around 40 fish species, including the magnificent Mahseer, making it a unique conservation effort in India.
