This was a surprise visit for us, we were on the way to JogFalls, while traveling towards Sagara from Shimoga we have seen a board of Hosagunda Temple. Lord Eeshwara incarnates as Sri Umamaheshwara including Sri Lakshmi Ganapathi, Sri Prasanna Narayana, Sri Subramanya, Sri Ganapathi, Sri Veerabhadra, Sri Mahishamardini, Sri Kanchikalamma. This is a thousand year old temple is been renovated by Sri Sringeri Shankara peeta Sringeri under the advice of Sri Bharati Tirtha. Nothing feels great unless God Eeshwara presence, currently the original statues is being worshiped in a temporary temples because of the renovation.

Linganamakki Dam, (ಲಿಂಗನಮಕ್ಕಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು), Sagara taluk, Shimoga, Karnataka

ಲಿಂಗನಮಕ್ಕಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು

After visiting the Jog Falls we moved towards Linganamakki Dam which is 7 KM away from jog falls, we didn't get a chance to visit inside the dam due to heavy rain. This dam receives water mainly from rainfall and also from the Chakra and Savahaklu reservoirs, once you came out from Jog Falls you will see a road on the right side towards Kargal from this road you need to travel 7 KM to reach Linganamakki Dam. Abundant greenery drizzling rain tends us to take snaps in a very quick time. Here is some snaps of Linganamakki Dam.
Just after the linganamakki dam back side there is a beautiful Chowdeshwari temple located in Joga nature and it reminds the perfect match of nature and god.

Jog Falls, Sagara Taluk, Shimoga, Karnataka

It's a monsoon motor bike ride towards western part of Karnataka, we were started all the way from Bangalore to Shimoga, first place is the famous Jog Falls, looking at the heavy monsoon our enthusiasm was not disappointed and we know this could get some good snaps at last. Roads are pretty nice and conform with not much jerk but one has to be careful while driving in wet roads. Sharavathi River dropping from 253 m and is the second highest in India.

Heavy Monsoon was the reason that the local management closed the gate of walking path towards the Jog falls, a lot of visitors were seen to catch the JOG Falls beauty, we were waited almost 40 min in view point to catch the perfect shot. moving clouds just as curtains to the falls, as every struggling step creates a remembering historical path. Every human being thinks in a different perspective to live his life. I felt no difference b/w my dreams and the visiting places which provoke me to share my thoughts as new post. As every human being visiting the same places and sometimes chose a same subject to express his ideas but the final output will be awesome which gathers his own life aspects and things , we should not follow blindly any path which was already explored. I wrote the above statements only because one of my team mate asked the same question and I tried to replied like above.
