Gokarna is an ancient temple town on India's west coast, just south of Goa, facing the Arabian Sea. It is a temple town and centre for Sanskrit studies and is referred to as the Kashi (the ancient name of the holy city of Benares) of the South. In recent years it has been discovered by the 'hippies', western and Israeli tourists due to its close proximity to Goa. © PRASHANT PANJIAR / ANZENBERGER/ASK Images |
