Share

Nellitheertha, a 200 meter long cave is a religious temple cave which is formed naturally. The cave is located in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. There is a Shivalingam inside the cave along with a lake which is formed by water dripping into the cave. The droplets take the shape of a Gooseberry right before dropping down. ‘Nelli’ is a Kannada word that translates to Gooseberry and ‘Teertha’ means ‘holy water’. Hence the cave gets the name Nelliteertha.
