Shree Nandaneshwara Temple is known as a "magane" temple and the 9 day Annual Festival of the Temple attracts a large crowd every year.Nandaneshwara is an ancient Shiva temple in coastal Panambur beach area, now part of New Mangalore Port. It is traditional in ancient India that the coastal temple towns were named after the Shiva temples of the area and vice versa. (For example: Pandeshwara, Manjeshwara, Mahābaleshwar, Someshwara, Murudeshwara, Dhāreshwara, Rāmeshwara, Bhubaneshwar, etc).
It is obvious that temple Nandaneshwara, of Panambur, was named after ancient King Nandana. Tamil Sangam ('Chankam') literature refers to a valiant Tuluva King 'Nannan'. It appears that the ancient Tamil writers referred to this King Nandan as 'Nannan' rather than Nandaraya. Therefore, it appears that Nandaneshwara (Panambur) on the West Coast , was the capital of ancient Nanda Kings of Tulunadu. (Like Pandeshwara, Mangalore, was the capital of later Alupa Kings.)
