Nadakalsi Kalasi



The purohit at Ikkeri had mentioned about Nadakalsi a temple dedicate to Lord Shiva. Nadakalsi, Ikkeri and Keladi played an important role during Keladi Nayaka’s dynasty. As each time they had a won a war or before going to any war they used visit these temple. It is also considered as good practice to visit all the three temples in one stretch as one would do in case of panchalinga darshana. One need to travel on Soraba road and take a diversion to right hand side after traveling around 6 kms and from this diversion another 2 kms is the temple. Nadakalsi also has many idols/ statues of “Nagaraja”. And couple of huge black stoned with “lipi” (olden day script).Though I could not see any visitors or purohit at the temple it looked like pooja was offered to god that day morning. And the garbagudi has no doors, so any time god can be seen. There is a small pond adjacent to the temple and there was no one available so that I could check on the importance of the pond in the premises. Also this place is under ASI, except for ASI standard board there is no history/ importance of this place mentioned.
