Sirsi Marikamba Temple: Built-in 1688, The Marikamba Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Durga, also known by the names Renuka, Yellamma, and Doddamma. It is believed that the 7-foot-tall image of the goddess was discovered in a pond near Hangal. In 1611, Sadashiva Rao II, the King of Sonda, gave orders to install the wooden deity at this place. This temple interior and exteriors are uniquely decorated with paintings of murals in Kaavi art, an art form that was popular in coastal Karnataka. The murals depict scenes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata cover all the walls of the temple. The annual ritual at the temple of sacrificing the buffalo was abolished following the visit of Mahatma Gandhi during 1930. The Sirsi Marikamba festival is held every alternate year in March. It is one of the most famous and biggest fairs in Karnataka and attracts thousands of devotees. Banavasi Madhukeshwara Temple: Banavasi is 25 km from Sirsi and it takes 30 mins to drive to the place.
