A 16th-century structure, the famed Gavi Gangadhareshwara is a favourite with architecture lovers. Housed in a natural cave, Lord Shiva reigns here. The courtyard of the age-old temple is dotted with monolithic sculptures. You can gape at tall pillars that are topped by renditions of the sun and the moon. The temple has been built in a way that ensures the rays of the sun pass through the horns of the Nandi and fall on the lingam on Makara Sankranthi.
