#The story behind the temple
Bhakata manjunatha was an atheist later who became a devotee of Lord Shiva. He insulted Lord Shiva many times like ten millions when he was an atheist because of that sins he wants to create a ten millions Shiva lingas . There is film made from his history in South India "Sri Manjunatha".
