The story of name Gokarna
It was the time when whole world got flooded. Everywhere is water. That time,God Shiva started to meditate in order to save the earth.
Shiva was so much engrossed in meditation that he didnt realise new Earth has started growing around him. Now he is inside the newly formed earth. He was in a rage by seeing this.
He thought of splitting the earth so that he can come out. Mother Earth came to know of this and she begged Shiva not to do that.
When Shiva asked the way to come out of ground, mother Earth said that she will change to the form of a cow, and then Shiva can come out through the ear of cow.
Shiva did the same. The place is known as Gokarna (in Samskrit Go means cow and Karna means Ear. Thus Gokarna is Ear of cow)
