About Shishila


Shishila is a Village in Beltangadi Taluk in Dakshin Kannada District of Karnataka State, India. It has a beautiful Shiva Temple. It is believed that the idol, in the form of a Linga, surfaced on its own and was never established by anyone (Udbhava Linga). The temple is on the banks of the river Kapila (a small river which later merges with Netravati). This place is also referred to as Matsya Theertha. Fishes are found in huge numbers in the Kapila river.
