About the Temple:
Sri Durgaparameshwari temple in Mulki offers a rich and vibrant tapestry of local traditions, social customs, vedic rituals and communal harmony during its annual fairs and festivals with the participation of people from all castes and communities. The Mogaveeras decorate the Ratha, the Koragas dance to the beat of their Dollu or Bheri (drums), the Brahmins perform worship and rituals according to the Vedas and Agamas and not to leave are the Jains and Muslims in rendering the services to Devi.
The temple of Bappa-nadu is dedicated to Durga devi and Devi is worshipped in the form of Linga. Tradition tells us that years ago this temple was caused to be constructed by a Muslim called Bappa who seemed to have discovered the linga submerged under water in the locality, when he was engaged in trade. Hence the place is named after Bappa. Keeping this in mind, the family of Bappa Byari is honoured to this day with the Prasad of Devi when the Utsavamurthi is taken out in a grand procession. The family offers flowers and fruits to the deity and this tradition symbolizes the deep bond of harmonious sentiments between the two communities.
