Madhur

Madhur was purely Shivashankar's idea, partly because it was a different kind of a temple (Kerala styled), and partly because they served lunch. Madhur is 8 Kms northeast of Kasargod, famous to the Srimad Anantheshwara Vinayak Temple. It was almost 1-40pm when we reached Madhur traveling a distance of 106 Kms in 3 hours. The temple was indeed of a different style, and looked pretty grand. It is said that the temple was attacked by Tippu Sultan of Mysore during his invasion and he felt thirsty and drunk the water from the temple well, which changed his mind and he left the temple without damaging it. There is a mark on the temple that is said to be made by Tippu with his sword. We promptly appeared for lunch and ate something that tasted about ok. There was nothing much to do around, we just took a glimpse of River Madhuvahini, and deciding not to linger on for a long time, we left by about 2-25pm.
