About the Temple:
At about 20 km from Mangaluru is the popular Durgaparameshwari Temple in Kateel. This holy temple is in the middle of River Nandini. The name Kateel is derived from two words― ‘Kati’ meaning waist and ‘Ile’ meaning earth. Kateel means the central area of earth.
Arunasura was a demon growing strong with powers and was disrupting peace on earth. Gods were helpless as Arunasura had secured special powers from Brahma that he cannot be killed by any two or four legged creatures. When Arunasura’as bad deeds grew beyond control, Adhishakti came down on earth as a beautiful woman, lured him and teased Arunasura to agitate him. An angry Arunasura tried to kill Adhishakti, she turned herself into a rock. Arunasura tried to break open the rock, during which a series of big furious bees emerged and stung him repeatedly till his death, thus eliminating one more bad soul on earth. On this success, saints and sages performed abhishekam to lord Adhishakti who later took the form of a linga in the middle of river Nandini. Thus, the Durga Parameshwari Temple was built around this.
