| There are hundreds of the stones
with Shiva Linga carved on them by the side or river 'Shalmala'.
Because these uncountable carvings, the place gets the
name "Sahasra Linga" (thousand lingas). Every
year on the day of 'Shivaratri' hundreds of people visit
this place to worship Lord Shiva. When the water level
is not high enough you can actually see all those carvings.
Best time would winter and early summer. Best place for
one day outing.
This place is on the way to Yellapur
from Sirsi at about 17kms from Sirsi. After Bhairumbe
you will have to get down at a bus-stop called Hul
Gol bus-stop and walk towards Hulgol and
from the main road it is around 2kms distance. Do carry
your food and tentage.
