Sirsi is located in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka which has this 1000 Shiva lingas called the Sahasralinga across the Shalmala river. These Shiva lingas are scattered all across the river path and many in the middle of the river. It is still not clear who constructed these and when. Huge crowds turn up during Shivaratri, Pradoksha and other special days. This place is not fully developed. So you might not find big hotels or homestays.But this is a must visit place for those seeking mystic travel.
Best time to visit: The shiva lingas get immersed when there is heavy water flow in the river. Best time to visit would be during summer when the water flow is not high.
