KOLLUR - MOOKAMBIKA DEVALAYA

The tiny, yet mighty' kollur, the seat of the much venerated Mata Mookambika, nestling at the foot of the picturesque Kutachadri Hills, an integral part of the evergreen western gnats casts an irresistible charm on both aesthetes and religionists at its first sight itself. This famous Parasakti temple has a unique history of its own, dating back to the Kritya yuga and is visited by lacs of devotees throughout the year. It is a celebrated place of pilgrimage and a paradise for the aspiring artistes. Its glorious past has many connections with the highest divinities, besides Maharshis and Acharyas of unparalleled eminence. Several illustrious personages attained Siddhi here, and their exemplary careers ignited spiritual yearning in people to such an extent that many promising Kalaradhakas deem it a great privilege to be associated with it some way or the other.

It is here Sankara Bhagavatpada meditated and obtained Mother's blessings, and introduced several traditions in the performance of prayer services to the deity.
