Behold a sacred ritual performed by nature

Each year a remarkable phenomenon occurs around June or July. The Arabian Sea gently rises and envelopes the temple entirely in its embrace. For a fleeting moment, the temple becomes submerged in the sea, and it feels like the sea itself is performing the sacred Abhisheka ritual (the ceremonial pouring of water or sacred substances over a deity's statue) of the Shivalinga. The sea recedes as swiftly as it arrives, revealing the temple in its washed divine glory.

Experience divinity in nature’s embrace

The pathway leading to the temple offers picturesque views, with waves crashing on either side and a lighthouse standing tall to the left. You may also observe water swirling over the steps along the way. Experience nature's breathtaking spectacle as the tides ebb and flow, with the setting sun casting a golden glow on the temple's façade, creating an unforgettable memory. For the best experience, plan your visit around sunset and when the tide is low.
