Bhadrakali Temple

The Bhadrakali Temple is a popular place of worship that is located at a distance of 1 kilometer from Gokarna town. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Uma, the wife of Lord Shiva and the protector of Gokarna. The architecture of the shrine is similar to the temple architecture generally followed in South India. The temple houses a beautiful statue of the goddess.

Legend has it that the demon king Ravana had performed penance on Mount Kailash and asked Lord Shiva to fulfil two wishes- that he should get the Atmalinga and a beautiful wife for himself. While Ravana was returning home with Goddess Uma, Lord Vishnu stopped him at Gokarna and tricked him into abandoning Goddess Uma there itself. Lord Vishnu then asked Goddess Uma to reside in Gokarna and she came to be worshipped as Goddess Bhadrakali.

GOKARNA:
The meaning of Gokarna is "Cow's Ear". This sacred place is located between the Gangavali and Agnashini river mouth and it is named for the ear-shaped meeting of two rivers. It is also believed that Gokarna gets its name from the legend in which Lord Shiva emerged from the ear of a cow.

HISTORY:

Ravana, the demon-king of Lanka, received the atmalinga from Shiva after he had performed a penance at Mount Kailash reciting self-written Shivatandavastotram. Shiva instructed Ravana that the sacred atmalinga should not be placed on the ground as it would establish itself where placed on earth. On his way back to Lanka, Ravana stops for his evening prayers at Gokarna.

As Ravana was coming near Gokarna. Maha Vishnu who had known well that Ravana was punctual in performing his periodical rites (Sandyavandhana), hides sun with his Sudarshana Chakra (Wheel). Thinking that it was time to perform the evening rites, Ravana finds a Brahmin boy (Lord Ganesha in disguise) and asked him to hold the Atma linga in his hand till he came back after finishing the rites. Lord Ganesha agreed to hold the linga on one condition that he would do so till he would be able to bear the weight of Linga and that thereafter he would call Ravana three times and if failed to come to him by then he would place the linga on the earth.Lord Ganapathi calls Ravana three times when he was performing his rites and places the linga on the earth and he vanished. The Atma linga at once got firmly entrenched in the earth. Ravana learned that he had been tricked by the Gods.

Ravana tries to extricate it, resulting in throwing the coverings of the Linga to Surathkal, Dhareshwar, Gunavanteshwar, Murudeshwar and Shejjeshwar temples.
