Kadri Manjunatheshwara Temple is located in Mangalore. It is the spectacular temple of Lord Manjunatha or Lord Shiva on the Kadri hills. The temple is a complete depiction of early Vijayanagara architecture dating back to 10th and 11th century AD.
The location of the temple is overwhelming with the presence of the deity of the temple, and the marvelous hillocks of the Kadri hills, which has many caves cut into the hills. The caves contain many pre-historic pieces of evidence too which adds to the impeccable holy spirit of the valley.  The overall location is extremely spiritual and calm. The temple belongs to the category of Tulunadu temples in the Dakshina Kannada region. The Kadri hill also has the biggest Natha Pantha (idolization) in the south of India.
The name Kadri was derived from Kadari which meant plantain and Kadri is filled with plantain trees all over. In Buddhism, the word Kadarika meant a ridge side pasture land. The Kadri mountain has been mentioned in the earlier epigraphs which are dated back to A.D.968 on the pedestal of the Lokeshwara picture installed in the Kadrika Vihara which was installed by the King Kundravarma of Alupa dynasty. Hence the inscriptions confirmed the former name of the Kadri hills was Kadrika...next story continued tmmarrow

Mangalore possesses a rich historical past. Mangaluru(Mangalore) which is bounded by the Arabian sea and the western ghats is Parashurama’s shristi and named after the goddess mangaladevi It is believed that Parashurama, the sixth avathar of Vishnu, destroyed the Kshatriya kings and donated the land to sage Kashyapa. As he believed, staying in the land which he donated is not right. He made in-depth remorse of the past conduct and meditation of Lord Shiva on Sahyadri mountrain region looking for new land for him to take refuge. Lord Shiva moved by his prayers, appeared before him and said he will incarnate in the form of Lord Manjunatha for the benefit of mankind and asked him to meditate upon him at Kadalivana (which is now Kadri).  When Parashurama took a look at Kadalivana which was far from Sahyadri mountain, it seemed to be ocupied by the ocean. Parashurama will approach the ocean king, requesting him to leave the Kadalivana for which Ocean king denies. Angry on the ocean
