Manjusha Museum

Manjusha Museum sits a short walk from the Manjunatha Temple and holds one of coastal Karnataka's most distinctive collections. Curated over 35 years by Dr. Veerendra Heggade, it spans stone and metal sculptures, traditional jewellery, coastal craftwork, ancient manuscripts, and an extraordinary array of cameras tracing the history of photography. Temple chariots stand outside, while inside, everyday objects such as nutcrackers, spectacles, and antique pens offer an intimate glimpse into the material culture of the Dakshina Kannada coast.
