Dakshina Kannada, also known as South Canara and South Kanara is a district in the state of Karnataka along the Arabian Sea coast.

The pilgrimage center of Dharmasthala,  about 75 kilometers from Mangalore provides a fascinating example of religious and cultural tolerance in South Canara. The temple of Lord Shiva (Manjunath) has Vaishnavite priests and the trust is administered by Virendra Heggade, a Jain.
