Karinja in Bantwal Which Houses The Beautiful Karingeshwar Temple Likely to be Declared as Eco-Sensitive Area

Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister V. Sunil Kumar, said the government was keen on declaring Karinja in Bantwal taluk an eco-sensitive area to protect the ancient Karinjeshwara temple as well as the ecology surrounding the hillock. The Minister visited Karinja along with Bantwal MLA Rajesh U. Naik following complaints by the general public and devotees of the temple about the threat from stone quarrying.

Karinja is located at a distance of 36 km from Mangalore, on Mangalore-Mudigere National Highway. The hillock that houses the temples has a beautiful pond at the base while devotees have to climb a fleet of stairs carved on stones to reach both the temples.

The Minister has asked the Deputy Commissioner to send a report comprising survey details, opinion of the general public and other relevant details to complete the formalities. Thereafter, the government would declare the area a sensitive zone. Besides this, the government also intends to promote Karinja a tourist destination by providing bare-minimum facilities to visitors through the tourism department, the Minister added.
