Bappanadu Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple - Hindu temple in Mulki - Dakshina Kannada, India

Beautiful temple with magnificent drum. Temple surrounding area is very clean. From Mulki bus stop you can go by walking or by auto. Its hardly 800 mtr walk. Also buses stops at bappanadu temple.

I have to say, this temple is incredible! The divine energy within is truly breathtaking, and the upkeep is impeccable. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the positive vibes all around you. Even those passing by on the national highway stop to pray to the goddess for her blessings and a safe journey.

Very divine place! Can't describe the vibe you get when you visit this place. The place is near and calm. The goddess Durgaparameshwari is very powerful. Temple is neat and calm. Usually crowded. Lot of parking space is present. The temple is in walkable distance from Mulki busstand. The place offers very divine feeling

Very peaceful place. Parking area is also good. If you are travelling in between Udupi and Mangalore then it's just beside the highway.

Nice temple recommended to visit in the night around 7 .. temple premises is calm and peaceful parking space available

Once there was a demon called Darigasura ruling Shonitapura. He had enmity with Devatas and Lord Vishnu. In antagonism and with the intention of defeating the Devatas and Lord Vishnu he worshiped Lord Brahma and got a boon. With a help of this boon he defeated Devatas and Lord Vishnu and snatched the ammunitions from Lord Vishnu and handed over that to his wife and told to keep that in worship place. While Lord Vishnu was mourning for his lost ammunitions Goddess Durgaparameshwari appeared before him in the form of seven angel-women (Sapta-Durgas) and promised to kill a demon. These Sapta-Durgas went to Shonitapura accompanied by one Deity called Guliga. Bhagavathi one of the Sapta-Durgas appeared before demon Darigasura while he was on the way to take a bath in the River, in disguised form of an old woman and begged for a meal. Darigasura advised her to go to palace and ask a meal with his wife. And also told her to tell him that if she didn't get a meal. Accordingly Goddess Bhagavathi visited the palace of Darigasura and met his wife but asked for ammunitions of Lord Vishnu to be returned. While wife of Darigasura opposed to return, Bhagavathi willingly and wrongly informed Darigasura that his wife is not ready to give her a meal. Hearing that Darigasura ordered his wife to give Bhagavathi what she wished. Darigasura's wife gave the ammunitions of Lord Vishnu to Bhagavathi accordingly. Knowing deceived by Goddess Bhagavathi, demon Darigasura became furious and declared war against Sapta-Durgas and attacked them in ambush. He defeated Deity Guliga in war. But after seven days of furious war demon Darigasura was defeated by Sapta-Durgas and ultimately he ran away and took hide in underworld. Goddess Bhagavathi taken form of Bhadra-Kali and began for his search. While demon Darigasura came for offering pooja to Lord Shiva in late evening, Bhadra-Kali found him and slewed him. Bhagavathi then accompanied by her other sister goddesses and Deity Guliga, visited Lord Vishnu and asked for a boat made by sandal wood for a journey from Vaikunta (Great heaven) to Bhooloka (earth) with a intention of settling down in Bhooloka for betterment of earthly people.

Bappanadu Sri Durga Parameswari Temple is very well built and maintained temple. Big temple. Big parking area in front of the temple. The temple structures except the Main Deity was damaged by the floods of the Mulki river and temple rebuilt.
