About the Temple:
Sri Mookambika Temple is situated at Kolluru of Byndoor Taluk in Udupi district. The temple is picturesque as it is located with the backdrop of the Kodachadri hills. The temple’s Garbhagriha is built square shaped in Dravidian style. Agnitheertha river flows in front of temple and Souparnika River flows adjacent to it.
As per the findings of inscriptions and ramifications, Sri Mookambika temple has been an abode of Devi Shakthi’s worship for centuries. The source of the Shakthi has been described in an ancient inscription dated 1481 AD found in the temple. Sri Mookambika Devi in the form of Linga is the Adi Shakthi, the creator of the protector of all forms of life. Devi Mookambike is worshiped here as the Shakthi Devatha. The Monster Kamhaasura, known as Mooka was put to death in this Kshethra. Mookambike is an Adi Shakthi as the Linga has integrated on its left side "MahaKali", “MahaLakshmi" and Maha Saraswathi". The Adi Shakthi in this form can be seen only here. In the form of Udhbhavalinga, Mookambike has also integrated Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva on the right side. A gold chain is dividing this Jyotirlinga into left and right portion. The left side of the Linga represents the Shakthi and right represents Shiva. Since Devi had appeared in his divine sight during his meditation, Adi Shankara had set up the statue of Devi on "SriChakra Yantra". Shri Shankaracharya's Peetha is on the western side of the sanctum sanctorum of the Temple. Even today the worshiping ritual is being continued as per the Vijayagama system formulated by Adi Shankaracharya.
