📜 A Glimpse into History
The Mangaladevi Temple dates back to the 9th century, built by the ruler King Kundavarma of the Alupa dynasty, with the guidance of two sages, Matsyendranath and Gorakhnath. According to legend, the temple was established in honor of Princess Mangaladevi, a devoted ascetic who attained samadhi here.
The name “Mangalore” is derived from this powerful deity, making the temple the cultural and spiritual cornerstone of the city.
