Pictures of my quaint little town, taken with Nokia N-97 - 5 mpx and Nokia N-70 - 2 mpx mobile cam. Karwar is the Head-Quarter of North Kanara district in Karnataka state, India, on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Surrounded by Western Ghat (mountains) on the East and South, the River Kali to the North, and the Arabian Sea, which comprises a chain of Islands.

Fishing Boats anchored...
.. in the Arabian Sea off Karwar coast, near Kurumgad island.
Once in a year there is a grand annual festival on this once inhabited island.People From Goa & Karnataka flock to this island in January to offer prayers to Lord Narasimha. It is believed that this Half Lion & Half Human diety, Reincarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hindu Mythology, swam accross the sea & made his way to this Island tearing it apart & made it it's abode. The Island has a sweet water pond despite the fact that it is located some nautical miles away from Karwar City in mid Arabian sea.
