Manjunatha Swamy is a form of Lord Shiva worshipped predominantly in the southern part of India, particularly in Karnataka. The deity is revered at the famous Dharmasthala Temple in the Dakshina Kannada district, where Lord Shiva is worshipped under the name Manjunatha. The temple is unique because it is managed by a Jain family, the Heggade, but follows Hindu rituals and traditions, symbolizing religious harmony.
