About

Harihareshwar is surrounded by four holy hills and is often referred to as 'Dakshin Kashi' (Kashi of the South). The town is known for its ancient Shiva temple and beautiful beach.

The temple features a unique linga shaped like a tortoise, and the traditional 'Pradakshina' (circumambulation) route requires devotees to climb a steep hill and walk along the rocky seashore behind the temple, making it a rugged and scenic pilgrimage.
