Kollur Mookambika Temple
Jyotirlinga-Devi shrine where Kola Maharishi worshipped; a classic pair-pilgrimage with Sringeri.
Kukke Subramanya
Serpent-god Subramanya shrine in the Ghats, famed for Sarpa Samskara rituals.
Dharmasthala Manjunatha
Shiva as Manjunatha, a Jain-administered temple renowned for its free annadana.
Sringeri anchors a dense Malnad and coastal pilgrimage cluster, and most visitors fold two or three other shrines into the same trip. Closest in spirit is Kollur Mookambika, roughly 80 km away, a Devi shrine where the goddess is worshipped as a union of Shiva and Shakti; pairing Sharadamba with Mookambika is a long-standing devotional route for knowledge and blessings.
Southeast toward the Ghats lies Kukke Subramanya, about 110 km on, the great serpent-god temple where devotees perform Sarpa Samskara and Ashlesha Bali to counter naga dosha. On the way or nearby sits Dharmasthala, around 100 km away, where Shiva as Manjunatha is worshipped under Jain trusteeship and where the free community kitchen feeds thousands daily.
Because these four sit on overlapping bus and taxi routes through Karkala, Koppa and the coastal belt, a common four-day loop runs Sringeri, Kollur, Dharmasthala and Kukke Subramanya. Each has its own darshan hours and midday breaks, so sequence them by opening times rather than by distance alone.
