The Manjuguni temple dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara is located 28Kms from sirsi. We took a slight detour on the way to Yana caves and visited the temple. It is believed that the Lord of Tirupati settle down here in this temple while he was on his travelling around the globe hunting wild animals. Thus the temple is also referred as Tirupathi of Karnataka or Chikka Tirupathi. The main idol here is assumed to be more than 1000 years old. The temple Ratha yatra is an important festival in the temple.
