Sri Veera Maruti Temple Karkala:
Veera maruthi
Right in front of Lord Venkatramana’s temple, there is a temple of Lord Hanuman. The statue of the temple deity rises over 15 feet and this carved figure of Maruthi is different from his other statues as here he is depicted in flying posture. According to the legends, when the land near a place called Annekere (in Karkala) was being dug, the statue was found deep in the place. History has it that Tippu Sultan was a great devotee of Lord Hanuman of this temple. He had presented an ornament made of silver to the Lord, which can be found even to this day around the neck of the deity.
