We have temples with 108 Lingas, and there is a temple in Karnataka, India with 9 Million Shiva Lingas.
But there is a Valley of Shiva Lingas in Cambodia.
Started by King Suryavarman I and ended with the reign of King Udayadityavarman II, between the 11th and 12th centurie
The small town has interesting locales, Raja's Seat,Old Fort , where the Government offices are houses now, Nisargadama, a wild life sanctuary, 3 km off Madikeri on the Madikeri Mysore Highway ,Dubare Forest(48 km from Madikeri) Abbi Falls(9 km),Talacauvery(the origin of River Cauvery and Bhaga Mandala(4 km)
In Madikeri the Onkareswara temple is situated.
A small shrine, more influenced by Kerala Architecture( Bhaga Mandala also has the same pattern) is in the center of the town.
The temple has no separate Sannidhi for Ambal.
What is more interesting is the fact that parents of the bride and the bride groom, on the day of betrothal, declare the terms of marriage, accompanied
by their relatives(!) state openly the terms for the marriage including the Monetary ones, before Lord Onkareswara , have the blessings of Lord Shiva.
