GET QUOTES

Koti Tirtha is a revered, man-made tank situated in Gokarna, Karnataka, India. Regarded as a sacred site, it attracts numerous visitors for ritual bathing and the immersion of idols. According to belief, the tank holds the essence of a crore (10 million) or even 100 million holy waters, enhancing its spiritual significance.

 

A Thousand Springs of Serenity

According to legend, Koti Tirtha (meaning “a thousand springs”) originated from the mythical bird Garuda’s accidental scattering of sacred springs from the Saptashrungi mountain. This sacred pond, surrounded by beautiful temples and monasteries, is believed to hold the power to wash away sins and bring lasting peace. Devotees partake in ritual bathing, immersing idols, and performing prayers at its banks, creating a truly immersive spiritual experience. The central Shiva lingam, illuminated in the evenings, adds to the ethereal beauty.
