Mangalore, India skyline: the 23 most iconic buildings and best views in Mangalore

One of the best beaches in Mangalore, it is always under the supervision of life guards. Ample parking space available, the beach has street food stalls and also a beach resort and bar Overall loved the place

Visited this year in Dasara. Awesome beach. Port nearby, raining in middle part of the ocean. Wonderful trip with my family. Neighbor's behavior at this beach was polite. Large factory nearby. I couldn't see sunset because of cloudiness. I enjoyed seeing ghats too during journey from Shimoga to Udupi, Udupi to Mangalore and finally Mangalore to Bangalore. I had a dream of visiting this place and performing journey there. It was a monsoon season

Panambur Beach — a really nice beach, though it gets quite crowded in the evenings. The best time to visit is early in the morning to truly enjoy the vibe. When we went, it started raining, and the dramatic visuals of nature were both stunning and a bit scary to witness.

Located some 12 km from the city centre, situated quite inside from the main road, this beach doesn’t come close to the fame it has. It’s a dirty, badly maintained and just one-time visit type of beach. Quite spacious and good scope to develop it as a model- sea beach, Government apathy and lackadaisical attitude towards any tourism places not just beaches have made such a wonderful location in a just one cheap and third grade beach. I don’t recommend. But yes, it does have some extra activities to for enjoyment.

Nice beach..with food and activity options. Horse riding Kite flying Beachside walk Few adventure activities seasonal.

17th September 2025 Visited Panambur Beach today and it was a refreshing experience. The clean shoreline, sound of the waves, and cool breeze gave a perfect break from my busy probash life. The beach was well-maintained and not overly crowded. A great spot to relax, reflect, and enjoy nature’s peace. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm getaway in Mangalore!

One of the beautiful beaches in manglore. It looks like a bit crowded .the amazing sunset you can see .you will get lots of small shops for refreshments. For us, we have a wonderful experience .

The large Jesuit complex dedicated to St Aloysius Gonzaga (1568-91) comprises a school, college and several other buildings, among which one of the more prominent ones from the point of view of tourism is the St Aloysius Chapel. This pale blue and white church was built in 1885 under the supervision of Fr. Joseph Willy. Four years later, the Italian Jesuit Brother Antony Moscheni arrived in Mangalore and painted the interiors of the chapel. From the outside, this church doesn't look especially impressive, but we were completely bowled over by what we saw inside - my husband, in fact, was comparing this to the Sistine Chapel! Moscheni, of course, is no Michelangelo, but the intricacy and the scale of the decoration are really very similar. Almost every square inch of the interiors - ceiling, walls, everything - is covered with detailed paintings of the life of Christ; the parables, verses from the Bible, the stations of the cross, and the life of St Aloysius. No photography is allowed inside the chapel, therefore there are no pictures with my review, but if you like Christian art, do not miss this.

✨ A Timeless Treasure on Lighthouse Hill – My Experience at St Aloysius Chapel, Mangaluru Nestled atop the serene Lighthouse Hill, the St Aloysius Chapel is not just a place of worship—it’s a canvas of devotion, history, and breathtaking artistry. Stepping through its regal entrance, I felt as though I had crossed into a sacred gallery where every wall whispered stories of faith and craftsmanship. 🎨 Art That Speaks to the Soul The interiors are a visual symphony. Painted by Italian Jesuit Antonio Moscheni in the late 19th century, the frescoes cover nearly every inch of the chapel—walls, ceilings, arches—with scenes from the life of Christ and St Aloysius Gonzaga. The detail is astonishing, and the colors, though aged, still glow with reverence. 🕊️ Atmosphere of Peace and Awe Despite being in the heart of Mangaluru, the chapel exudes a quietude that’s rare. The air inside feels hushed, as if the paintings themselves demand silence. Photography is not allowed, which only deepens the sense of sacredness and encourages you to be fully present. 🏛️ A Museum Worth Exploring Adjacent to the chapel is a small museum that’s a hidden gem. It houses centuries-old coins, stamps, and artifacts contributed by Jesuit priests over generations. It’s compact but rich in stories, and you can explore it in under an hour. 👣 A Personal Reflection If you’re in Mangaluru and have an eye for detail, a heart for history, or simply a love for places that stir the soul, St Aloysius Chapel is a must-visit. It’s not just a landmark—it’s an experience that lingers.

Beautiful chapel with brilliant frescoes. The blue and white exterior is most mesmerising. Photography inside is not permitted which is good. This encourages visitors to spend few moments in silence and pray with devotion, a value grossly missing in todays social media savvy times. Good luck to the management team in maintaining the sanctity of this revered space.

Can’t praise the chapel adequately. Our tour driver recommended a visit & since we were ahead of schedule, we dropped in with no notion of what to expect. The building is beautiful, but the exquisite frescos covering the walls & ceiling were the high point. We have travelled all over the world & seen some of the best frescoes and I’d say these compare with the best. The additional charm is that no one is rushing you & the visit is free. However, I would recommend a donation for upkeep of the frescoes

The collection of the Jesuits from many centuries at the Aloysium is a must see when you travel to Mangalore. They have a variety of displays from the images I've shared like the whale skeleton and tortoise shells. Additionally there is a huge stamp & coin collection, sea shells, vintage camera from many decades and a much more. Make sure to check the timings since it is open daily and closed for lunch between 1-2pm

Beautiful place in Mangalore The architecture of this place is awesome,inside also it is well maintained They also have a museum dedicated to this place

Stunning Chapel, friendly folk that are inviting a very calm place. Please be mindful & respectful while there, this is less a tourist site & more a functioning Chapel & school premises with kids about. It's a must visit stunning Chapel with some amazing painted walls & pillars.

One of the famous temples in Mangalore dedicated to God Manjunatha swamy. Temple is huge and very beautifuly maintained. It has various small temples and pond around it. Famous Kadri park is also part of this. Every afternoon there is anna parasada.

Kadri Manjunatha Temple – Timeless Spirituality Amid Nature’s Grace : The main deity is Lord Manjunatha (Shiva), enshrined in an ancient stone sanctum with an impressive eight-foot bronze idol. Among its treasures is the Lokeshwara idol, one of South India’s oldest and finest bronze images. Sub-shrines for Durga, Subramanya (Ayyappa), and Ganapati add to its spiritual charm. Temple Timings (may vary on festival days) Morning: 5:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM Sacred Waters & Gomukh Ganapati A highlight is the Gomukh Ganapati, where pure spring water flows naturally from a cow-shaped spout (gomukh) all year round. This crystal-clear water—used for abhishekam of the Shiva Linga and collected by devotees like sacred Ganges water—is believed to cleanse both body and soul. It also feeds the seven holy ponds (Kundas) and the shrines of Lord Manjunatha’s divine siblings. Shani Pooja – A Special Offering The Shani Pooja, dedicated to Lord Shani (Saturn), draws devotees seeking relief from Saturn’s malefic effects and blessings of balance and discipline. The solemn chants and atmosphere bring a deep sense of calm. Rituals & Festivals:- Daily worship fills the air with Vedic hymns and the fragrance of camphor. Kadri Jatre (temple fair): usually in January around Makara Sankranti, with grand processions and cultural programs. Kadri Kambala (buffalo race): typically held during the winter Kambala season (Nov–Feb, depending on their lunar calender) in the paddy fields near the temple. Whether we visit as a pilgrim, a history lover, or a traveler seeking peace, the experience stays with us long after we leave the temple.

Very beautiful and one of the most popular Lord Shiva temples in manglore.🙏🏻 The place is really calm, quiet and peaceful . Morning times are the best to visit the temple to experience the calmness. Right from entering the gate of temple we feel as though we have stepped into a place surrounded by nature 🌿 and enchanted calmness. Here Lord Ganesha , Goddess Parvati , Lord Ayyappa and few other deities are also worshipped. This temple has lots of levels At the ground floor you can see the main deities which I mentioned above. When you climb stairs to firt floor you will reach a place with a big rectangle water tank divided into amall square shaped tanks. There are folklore legends that these water tanks hold medicinal values and taking a dip in these water tanks cure many diseases. The water in these tanks is filled by the great Kaashi Bhagirathi River. It flows out through an opening under Lord Ganesha temple. People can drink that theertham from there as well fill bottle to carry the theertham home. This same theertham can be filled in small brass vessels near to a stairs and we can do jal archana by our own hands to Lord Shiva which have to again climb few stairs to reach the Shiva lingam.🙏🏻 There is a big statue of Lord Hanuman if you climb little more further. The view from here is mesmerizing. There are a lot of steps to go up and down. So if you are planning to visit only the main deities then it's at the ground floor which you can reach by climbing only a few steps. But rest all the other areas have a lot of climbing to do. The experience was really awesome with the blend of nature and the place really keeps attracting me back.🙏🏻😊 Must visit temple 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very nice place to visit. Some areas need climbing steep stairs. Not giving details of the temple which are listed in other reviews The security guards were kind to let us in&out from a closed gate as my elderly mom was unable to climb stairs. However, same person didn’t tell us about wheelchair availability and didn’t show us easy path (right side from entrance) and we walked a lot unnecessarily.

Kadri Manjunath temple also known as Kadri Manjunatha temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva in Mangalore, Karnataka, is one of the oldest Shiva temples. Hence, this historic temple is one of the must-visit temples in Kadri, Mangalore, for devotees of Lord Shiva. As per Kadri Manjunath temple history, the temple is really old as it was built in the 10th or 11th century and was transformed into a stone structure in the 14th century. Hindu and Buddhist histories intertwine with the temple. People practised Buddhism until the 10th century CE. The Nath cult was a mix of Hindu and Buddhist traditions and saw a decline, after which the Buddhist temples were converted into Hindu places of worship. Furthermore, as per the words of poet and writer Govinda Pai, ‘Manjunatha’ refers to Lord Shiva and ‘Kadri’ is a part of Kadri Vihara, a Buddhist monastery belonging to the Vajrayana cult. Kadri Manjunath temple has references in mythology related to Parashurama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. After slaying the Kshatriyas, Parashurama prayed and appealed to Lord Shiva for a place to live. Lord Shiva directed him to seek shelter in a new place called the Kadrivana. Paying heed to the Lord’s words, Parashurama, after an immense struggle with the ocean king, secured the place that he occupied near the Kadri hills to set up the Kadrivana for Lord Manjunatha. Consequently, the place became the abode of Lord Manjunatha, where devotees now flock to the place for the Lord’s blessings. Kadri hills are also mentioned in the “Bharadwaja Samhita,” a Sanskrit text. Hence, Kadri was famous for being the abode of Lord Manjunatha (Lord Shiva) in ancient times. The presiding deity of Kadri Manjunath temple is Lord Manjunatheshwara, worshipped as a Shiva Linga. There are also shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Durga in the temple. Furthermore, there are beautiful bronze idols of Lokeshwar, Avalokiteshwar, Veda Vyasa, Machendranath, Gorakanath, Shringinath, Buddha etc in the temple. The Lokeshwar idol is one of the oldest bronze idols in India. Also, the Saptha Mantras became the Saptha Theerthas or the seven ponds. Gomukha, a natural spring, is found in an elevated location near the temple. According to popular belief, the water from the spring is that of River Bhageerathi in Kashi; hence, it acquired the name Kashi Bhageerathi Theertha. Before entering the temple, people dip in the nine ponds, which contain water from the natural spring. There is also a Shiva Linga further up, where people fill vessels with water from the natural spring and perform Abhishekam with their own hands. There is also a shrine dedicated to Shani Dev. The annual festival of Jathra Mahothsava, held for nine days during January, begins on the Makara Sankranti. It is celebrated with pomp and religious fervour. The distance from Mangalore to Kadri Manjunath temple is 5.3 KM, and Kadri Manjunatha temple is about 346 KM from Bangalore. By Air Mangalore airport is the nearest airport, which is about 12.4 KM from Kadri. From there, you can hire a cab to the Kadri Manjunatha temple. By Train Mangalore Railway Station is the nearest station to Kadri, which is about 3.5 km away. From there, one can take a cab to the Kadri Manjunath temple. Mangalore Railway Station is well connected to all the southern states via rail. By Road Mangalore is well connected to the other major cities by road. Numerous KSRTC buses ply in the area, making it convenient for tourists. Tourists can also hire a cab to reach the Kadri Manjunatha temple.

This is a must visit temple if you are in the vicinity of Mangalore. It dates all the way back to the 10th-11th centuries. There is a fresh water spring the source of which is supposedly the Bhagirathi river in Kashi, hence considered very holy. There are also caves that date back to 4-6th century AD. They are purported to be visited by the Pandavas.

Kadri Sri Manjunatha Temple is one of the most famous and ancient temples in Mangalore, Karnataka..🔱📿 The temple is dedicated to Lord Manjunatha (Shiva).The temple has seven sacred ponds (Kundas).Apart from the main Sri Manjunatha Swamy Linga, some small gudi’s make Kadri temple very unique, as it represents Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakti, and Nath traditions together😌🙇🏻‍♀️Many devotees believe that worshipping here brings peace, good health, and spiritual growth📿✨

I have visited the Adorable Claim Temple many times during my stay in Mangalore. It is a truly divine place. During the Navratri festival, the temple is beautifully decorated, and the Goddess is adorned with different alarakaras each day, which look absolutely stunning. I recently visited during Navratri, and the light decorations along with the Goddess’s alarakara made it a memorable experience. Though it was a bit crowded, I was blessed with a wonderful darshana. A highly recommended place to visit when you are in Mangalore!

Very famous temple and Very powerful goddess. Its best to visit the temple during early morning and evening, because it's peaceful during that time. But it's irritating at the afternoon, specially during Anna prasada. The management will be so rude that time , they don't allow you to eat peacefully at one place, they will be yelling at you all the time . They behave like the conductor in local bus , they will be keep on saying, don't stand here go there etc . 🙄 The management people specially during the Anna Prasada are the worst . Accept that the temple is great, beautiful goddess, everyone should visit.

Mahatobhara Sri Mangaladevi Temple is located at Bolar, the city of Mangalore is named after the presiding diety Temple is centerely located and well connected to the city A must-visit Temple if you’re in Mangalore. Mangala Devi temple is dedicated to Hindu Goddess Shakti / Parvati in the form of Mangaladevi, the presiding deity. [According to local legend, a princess from Malabar named Parimala or Premaladevi renounced her kingdom and became a disciple of Matsyendranath, the founder of the Nath tradition. Having converted Premaladevi to the Nath sect, Matsyendranath renamed her Mangaladevi] The temple is believed to have been built during the 9th century by Kundavarman, king of the Alupa dynasty and as per another legend, the temple is believed to have been built by Parashurama, one of the ten avatars of Hindu god Vishnu and later expanded by Kundavarman. The temple is built in Kerala style architecture, which is common in all temples in the South Indian state of Kerala and Western Ghat. The temple has a two storeyed gopura or gateway tower, with the upper storey having wooden trails covering the Kottupura. Sri Mangaladevi Temple is calm, peaceful, spiritual, and deeply rooted in our history. Daily Pooja at 6am morning, 1pm in the afternoon and evening Pooja at 8.40pm everyday except on Friday (9pm) Temple has ample space for parking in front of temple The darshan was smooth and well-managed, and the priests at the temple perform the rituals with devotion. As my in-laws are from Bolar, I start my activities only after visiting Sri Mangaladevi Temple when in Mangalore

The Mangaladevi Temple in Mangalore is a sacred and revered destination. Although there isn’t a designated parking area, we managed to park along the roadside. It is said that during the festive celebrations of Amma, the temple becomes very crowded, so we chose to visit on a quiet evening. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, allowing us to have a pleasant and fulfilling experience.

The name Mangaluru is because of this temple Small market, marriage hall, few restaurants are available near

It is one of main temple of manglore. Recommend to visit in afternoon time will get less crowd

A serene, divine place and a must visit if you are in Mangalore. You can have a peaceful darshan and meditate here. The Goddess shines in all her glory. She is a form of Shakthi and the city is named after her. The temple was built by king Kundavarman of the Alapu dynasty.

Milagres Church in Mangaluru is a beautiful blend of history, spirituality, and architecture. Established in 1680, the church boasts stunning neo-gothic design with intricate carvings and a marble altar. It is a hub of community life, hosting regular masses and vibrant festivals. Milagres is not just a place of worship but a symbol of resilience and faith, deeply embedded in Mangaluru’s rich cultural heritage.

As one of the oldest churches in the area, it exudes a sense of history, and its design reflects its past. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere is peaceful and calming. Plenty of parking is available, making it easily accessible. Whether you're looking for a place to pray or simply seeking peace and quiet, this church is a must-visit.

One of Mangalore's oldest and most prominent churches, Milagres has a very long history - the church was first built in the 16th century, when the Portuguese first established themselves in Mangalore. Over the centuries since, the church building was destroyed and later rebuilt several times. The current church building, a striking grey-and-white structure, dates back to 1911, though marble plaques inside, embedded into the beautiful tiled floor of the church, commemorate people from much older times, including Rt Rev Thomas de Castro (1674-1684), the founder of Milagres Church. The church has some pleasing old statuary and art (the customary twelve stations of the cross painted along the sides, for instance), and is a lovely, serene place to visit even on weekdays.

One of the Mangalore's oldest church, architecture is beautiful ❤️ It's a well maintained place with ample parking space You can sit inside and enjoy some peace

Milagres church is the oldest church in Mangalore managed by Catholic Christian community. The vibe inside the church feels me like a goan tradition of architecture. It is easily connected by bus stand

The Milagres Church is a historic Church situated in the Hampankatta locality of Mangalore. The church was built in 1680 by Bishop Thomas de Castro, a Theatine from Divar, Goa who got a grant of land from Queen Keladi Chennama of Bednore and built this Church. It is one of the oldest churches in Dakshina Kannada

"Whatever I say about this sacred church, my words will always be less than it deserves. Its peace, holiness, and grace touch the soul so deeply that no review can ever truly capture its divine presence. Visiting here fills the heart with prayerful gratitude, reminding me that spiritual experiences cannot be measured—they must simply be cherished in humility."

I can say Mangalore is temple City So many temples are there need time to visit all the temple in that this ganapati temple very old one and built very beautifully Love the architecture

Visited Ganapathi temple in the evening and felt very good here. Temple is beautiful insidyand outside and parking place is so big. For Shopping lor of shops are there around.

Peaceful temple right in the city center Sharavu Ganapathi Temple is a calm and spiritual place located right near Ideal Cafe in Hampankatta. It's easily accessible and walkable from most central areas in Mangalore. The temple is neat and well maintained, and you instantly feel peaceful once inside. There are shrines for both Lord Ganesha and Lord Shiva. It’s not too crowded during regular hours, and the pujaris are kind and approachable. They also have a small parking space, which is a bonus in such a busy area. Ideal Cafe is just across the road—so it’s quite a nice combo to visit the temple and then stop for some snacks or ice cream. A great place to spend a few quiet minutes, especially if you're around the city centre.

The Sharavu Mahaganapathy Temple is one of the most well known tourist attractions that are situated in the city of Mangalore in Karnataka. This temple is well acclaimed as one of the most popular temples of the southern part of India. The name “Sharavu” is derived from “Shara” which means arrow. About eight centuries back, the “Sthalapurana” or local legendary depicts, a very powerful king, Maharaja Veerabahu of tuluva region, killed a cow by sheer mistake by shooting it with an arrow. He in reality meant to shoot the tiger which was standing besides the cow. But, his unculpable terrible sin had to be erased, for which he did install a “Shiva Linga” as per the suggestion of a great seer Sri Bharadhwaja.

Very nice Ganapathi and Shiva temple, it is just beside ideal cafe, Architecture of this temple is very beautiful . There is nagalaya at the entrance.Very peacefull place in middle of city. Enjoyed divine vibes 🏵️

Very famous Ganapathi temple. Well maintained.

The Sharavu Mahaganapathi Temple is a spiritually uplifting place right in the heart of Mangalore. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, this temple is known for its powerful energy and peaceful ambiance. It’s one of the most popular temples in the city, yet it maintains a calm and well-organized atmosphere. The idol of Mahaganapathi is beautifully adorned, and the temple premises are clean and welcoming. Devotees visit for blessings, especially during special occasions and festivals when the temple is beautifully decorated and vibrant. Despite being centrally located, the temple offers a quiet space for prayer and reflection. The staff and priests are courteous, and the rituals are performed with genuine devotion. A must-visit for anyone seeking peace, blessings, or a glimpse into Mangalore’s spiritual culture.

One of the most beautiful cathedral I’ve ever visited. The architecture is just so beautiful! Goes back to Portuguese heritage.

Beautiful Cathedral in the heart of Mangalore! Lovely stone architecture and the serenity of the Cathedral is extremely captivating.

The first church in mangaluru! A very historic Cathedral!

Blessed experience indeed. Such a beautiful & divine church.

Rosario Cathedral is one of the 3 churches established by the Portuguese when they landed at Mangalore in 1568. Portuguese Kings, royal stone emblem lies at the entrance of the Cathedral, marking their landing in Mangalore. Other two churches are Lady of Mercy, Paneer & Holy family, Omzoor This Rosario Church was raised to the status of a Cathedral in 1850 (Cathedral is a church building that is considered the seat/cathedra of a bishop & is the mother church for all Christians in that diocese). This Cathedral, historically is the seat of the Bishop of Mangalore, though for decades the Bishop resides at the Official Bishop’s House at Kodialbail The present magnificent Cathedral structure which is more than100 years old, was built in 1914. It has an impressive high dome crowning the entire sanctuary

It was a wonderful place, the English mass was beautiful

Beautiful, lovely, attractive are some less words to describe the structure. Old church made in 16th century

This place is a must visit for kids of all ages above 5years. Very interesting and intriguing. The science and techniques are all in place. The entry ticket is only 40₹ . There is a physics named fun science section at the ground level and also biodiversity. Each is fun and explained well. Everything in the fun science section is interactive and experimental. Biodiversity is detailed and clear in concepts. The first level has technology which is again hands on experimental and covers many topics like energy, lifestyle, etc. When you go there be ready to spend at least 2-3hours. Combine it with the movie for more fun.

I had a wonderful experience at the Pilikula Regional Science Centre. The exhibits are informative and provide a great learning environment for both kids and adults. The planetarium was definitely a highlight—it was engaging and quite immersive. It's an excellent place for students and anyone curious about science and technology. The only downside was that some interactive displays could use better maintenance. Overall, it's a fantastic place to visit if you're looking to explore science in a fun and interactive way.

One of the best place to visit for kids and adults as well.. You will get to learn many things here.. This place has many items related to science.. Here you can learn and understand physics.. The most recommended place to at least visit once.. Best place for students to visit when they are in their learning stage.. You can learn along with fun.. There are many instruments inside and outside the building within the compound.. They have the explanation along with it written so neatly.. You can use the instrument kept over there as per their instructions and that's how one can understand its working.. There are 3 separate large rooms with a lot of equipment and each room has different concepts.. The ticket price is low and it is worth visiting if you are interested in knowing how things work.. They have a setup of our recent projects like metro, space related, etc and also there are multiple power generation techniques used and its working...

We enjoyed this place. A place which tickles your curiosity and makes you wonder about it. My toddler got to learn many new things and kept talking about it all day long. I will recommend this place for people of all age groups.

It was a great experience inside the regional center. A lot of fun science experiments and activities are provided. The ' fun science' section was good similar to VIT museum in Bangalore. Here it is a new building and they neatly maintained. There was another section of biodiversity which we couldn't see due to lack of time. We explored the science park outside the science center . We tried to do all the activities according to the instructions given nearby. It was so spacious compared to Jawaharlal nehru planetarium in Bangalore.

Namrata madam was very helpful to describe all the trachnologies available in mattress.She is expert in her field.Thanks for the information you shared.We liked the SmartGrid technology in The Sleep Company mattress.

Poor quality.. just the hype on profile …arrogant people. Worms around fishes ..dont buy from this shop . All the good comments below the comment section are made by the shop people. 3rd class quality.

This shop will always deliver the order after 2 hours even after placing the order in morning . When we are supposed to cook and have the food ? Next day I guess . The radius of delivery address is barely 2km, still they take too long for delivery and will also take delivery charges, even after that service is bad. Not the best option to order from here, unless u are in real need .

I was happy to see delivery option. And I messaged in wtsap on Saturday .One the person replied me and I asked about cost and availability. Beginning it was fine for 10mnts. Later they said Sunday is closed . And I wanted bannur mutton to neermarga road manglore,also anjalu to surathkal . To surathkal he/ she said they take delivery charge which I accepted. Later after few minutes I said mutton to neermarga they told no stock,it must be pre order. Then I asked for Sunday. They told sunday close. Again for Monday I asked Then he/she replied we don't deliver to that place. I was wonder, when they can deliver to surathkal with delivery charge why not to kulshekara neermarga road.Thank you for valuable time.

They advertise for mutton and chicken and what not, but it's actually a full time fish shop. Every thing else has to be pre-ordered with no guarantee what you will get.

One of the best shops in mangalore to grab fresh fish at reasonable price. They sell chicken, mutton, fruits and vegetable. Plus there's free home delivery. Highly recommended.

We have always received fresh fish, delivery is quick, rates are reasonable as compared to others.Overall a good place for shopping

Good quality products. Store is Neat and Hygiene. Got fruits and vegetables for good price seems like price is very reasonable. Staff is polite and professional.

beautiful and old temple. architecture inside and outside is really stunning 👌 temple premises is huge. there is also a small pond inside the premises. free dedicated parking space available for cars. crowd is moderate, there wasn't any queue to enter the temple.

Very beautiful Temple, less crowded, worthy of going

Very peaceful, around 10kms away from the city. What I liked the most about it, is the snake sculptures, there are around 1000 of them in one particular place, don't miss it. There is also a small pool/lake where you're supposed to wash your legs and it's considered to be holy water. Morning, afternoon times, when the sun is at it's peak, it's going to be really fun for your foot to walk on the land where the sun hits.

Ultimate place for those who want to enjoy serene silence and reach peace. Very calm and positive vibe. Don't miss it. Also the darshan of sacred crocodile will be cherished. But please don't dirty the surroundings and maintain silence only then you can enjoy the real beauty. Go early in the morning.

"I visited Kudroli Shree Bhagavathi Temple in Mangalore last week and had a super peaceful experience! The temple is located in a quiet area near Hampankatta, and the surroundings are really scenic. The architecture is stunning - loved the blend of traditional Karnataka and Kerala styles with black granite and wooden carvings. I went on a weekend around 8 pm, and it was pretty chill - not too crowded, so I got to spend some quality time soaking in the vibe. The pooja timings were convenient, and I caught the 8 pm one; it was really calming. If you're in Mangalore, this temple is a must-visit for sure. Dress code is traditional (covered shoulders and knees), and there's no entry fee, though donations are appreciated. Also, if you're looking for more to do around, Tagore Park and Kadri Sri Manjunatha Temple are nearby. Overall, Kudroli Shree Bhagavathi Temple is a gem for anyone seeking some peace and spirituality in Mangalore.

The temple is a beautiful and expansive space, filled with peace and serenity. Its grandeur and tranquility make it a truly special place to connect with the divine and find inner calm.

Located in the educational complex of the St Aloysius College and School, the St Aloysius Museum, or Aloyseum, dates back to 1912. The collections in the museum may not be huge, but they're fascinating. There are collections here of everything from old manuscripts to old newspapers, art and craft, antique furniture, Mangalore's first car, a 19th century wooden cross that had once stood on the college chapel's facade. Old telephones and other machines, models of life in Karnataka's villages; old machines (including giant bulbs); and skeletons of various creatures, such as a whale. Among the most interesting bits of information is the long list of Jesuits prominent in various fields of study (over thirty craters on the moon are named after Jesuits!) Also, there is a fascinating snippet of information with a preserved specimen: a species of frog (Euphylctis aloysii, named after Aloysius College. Entrance fees for the museum are Rs 30 per adult and Rs 10 per child. Photography is allowed. While a good bit of the museum's collection seems like random stuff thrown together, there are some very interesting exhibits here.

This museum is just opposite to st Aloysius Chapel. It is just 500-600 m away from Jyothi circle. Entry fees - 30 for adults and 20 for children.There were 5 galleries with different names. I was happy to see skeleton of whale. Good collection of coins, stamps, television, cameras, history books, old musical instruments, paintings, Fossils, sea shells, old laboratory instruments etc.

Very good museum for kids and there are a lot of historical things which we can see and also it is very well maintained. You can see a lot of old fashioned items and stuffs and also gain knowledge about those as there is a brief description about each item in front of it. A must visit place for school children so that they learn.

Great place with a vivid display of vintage collections and art forms. The ticket price when I visited in Jun 2023 was like ₹30 for adults and ₹10 for kids. Do visit this place if you're somewhere close to it and want to spend some quality time.

If you want to see Antique things, then mustafa visit
