Devi Mookambika Temple

Legend Of Mookambika Temple


In Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva narrates to His son Subramanya the significance of this place. References are also found to the hill Kudashadri, its surrounding forest Maharanyapura and to Devi Shakti coming there at the request of Kola Maharishi. In Krita Yuga, a demon by name Kaamaasura ruled from this region. The Devas and Rishis were put to untold miseries by the arrogant Asura. Sage Kolarishi did penance to propitiate the Devi and succeeded in his mission. The Devi turned the Asura into a mooka (dumb) and vanquished him in a fierce encounter. Thus the Goddess acquired the name Mookambika. The Devi later appeared as a Swayambu Linga (self-manifested) with a golden rekha (a line) running through the Linga. On one side of the rekha, She has inbibed all the three Shaktis, namely, Mahakali, Mahasaraswathi and Mahalakshmi, and on the other side, Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. As sage Kolarishi did penance here, the place came to be known as Kollur.
