Abstract: In the medieval period, it is very amazing to know that Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains enthusiastically worshipped Lord Shiva. During this period, a large number of Sadhus lived in caves, attached to forests. In this environment, Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnath came into the picture. The cool and peaceful atmosphere of Kadri made themto settle at Kadri. Kadri Manjunath Temple and Natha Mutt became very popular. We have an inscription of 10 C A. D which was issued by Alupa King Kundavarma. The bronze Lokeshwara image of Kadri is really interesting from the point of view of the history of iconography and religion.
