== Background ==
==Etymology==
According to legend, the name Surathkal is derived from "shiradakal" meaning "headstone" in both [[Kannada language|Kannada]] and [[Tulu language|Tulu]]. The famous Sadashiva Mahaganapathi temple on the shores of [[Arabian Sea]] (Lakshadweepa Samudra) is said to be built around the linga that a [[Rakshasa]] by name Kharasura carried on his head. Another legend is that when [[Ravana]] threw in fit of rage the atma shivalinga, some of the pieces from [[shivalinga]] fell at place where Sadashiva temple is situated at present. Noted historian [[Padoor Gururaj Bhat]] is of opinion the temple might have been constructed around 11 C.E. (11 A.D).


==Administration==
Surathkal was once a Grama panchayat, then town panchayat, municipality now merged with [[Mangalore]] city corporation. According to legend, the name is derived from "shiradakal" meaning "headstone" in [[Kannada]]. When Lord [[Ganapathi]] kept a shiva [[linga]] belonging to Ravana on ground, Ravana tried to pull the linga from the ground but could not. The place where the linga is supposed to have been is now known as Gokarna. Due to the force exerted by Ravana, some pieces were scattered. One such piece from the head of the linga is said to have fallen in present day Surathkal.
