ri Sooryanarayana Matha is situated in
Karkala at the beginning of Tellar Road. The little shrine is on the right of the
well-known Sri Ananthashayana Temple.
It is one of the very few shrines dedicated to Sun God. The idol of Lord Sooryanarayana is carved in black granite. It’s about two feet tall. The sanctum sanctorum itself is made of stone, hence called Kallamatha.

Sooryanarayana Matha is believed to be 900
years old. A stone inscription seen in front of the matha, though hasn't been deciphered so far, proves the fact that the temple belongs to a distant past.
Regular poojas are offered to the
deity. Karthika deepotsava is held every
year on the new moon day of Karthika month.
