Vagenadu is a beautiful hamlet in
Bantwal, around 30 km from
Mangalore. This place in Karopady village bordering
Kerala is untouched by city buzz, and it still retains the serenity of an old shrine-village. The temple, Sri Subraya Temple is now turning into a center for Yakshagana. Other nearby places, such as Karopady, Kurudapadavu, Kanyana, Bayaru, Mittandka, and Malar are also developing as centers for Yakshagana.
