This place of worship is located at
a distance of 3kms from Mangalore. The word “Mangalore” is derived from Goddess
Mangaladevi, the main deity in this temple. Travelling back in time,
Mangaladevi was a princess from Kerala (Malabar), who came into this region
accompanying Matsyendranatha, one of the propounders
of the Nath cult. It is said that she breathed her last on this land.
The natives of the land
have staunch faith in this deity. They believe that she bestows their land with
happiness and prosperity. She is also referred to as “Shakti” (meaning
strength). It is also believed that ladies who fast (observe the “Mangala
Parvati Vrata” as it is called) will have their wishes fulfilled and bestowed
with a good marriage. Therefore, the temple has a special significance for
maidens. It is also believed that those who conduct their marriage in this
temple will have a happy married life.
Other festivals such as
Ganesha Chaturthi and Dussera are celebrated here with great enthusiasm.
Navaratri is also celebrated with great pomp since the temple is dedicated to a
powerful Goddess. The temple was built by Ballal family of Attavar.
