Good place in Mallikatte junction for a quick bite, however the restaurant is in the basement and ambience, service is just average. The quick bites available here are good for evening snacks. Parking is an issue at this place though.
Mesmerizing beautiful status of lord Shiva.....must visit location. Largest lord Shiva temple in the world. Lovely place to be at beach side of Arebian Sea. There are adventure sport at this lication can check in the website. We visited during navratri.... Huge crowed and all were adventurers were booked. Definitely to come back with family or friends.
We went there during Navratri and it was very crowded but the atmosphere inside the temple was very serene. We also had prasadam during lunch time and it was very yummy. Outside the temple, there is street parking available. If you are in Mangalore, donot forget to the visit this temple. The name of Mangalore comes from the deity of the temple- Lord Mangala Devi.
One among the old temple in Mangalore. The temple premise was very calm. One of the unique kind of prasad that I tasted was Panchakajjaya. It is very healthy prasad, prepared from dal, coconut, ghee, cardamom. Photography is not allowed inside temple.
The temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Shakti in the form of Mangaladevi, the presiding deity from whom the city derives its name that is Mangalore.
The temple is believed to have been built by Parashurama, one of the ten avatars of Hindu god Vishnu and later expanded by Kundavarman.The temple is built in Kerala style architecture, which is common in all temples in the South Indian state of Kerala and Western Ghats, with most of its structure made of wood. The presiding deity, Mangaladevi in the central shrine is in a seated posture. There are shrines around the sanctum for other deities.
The temple is maintained and administered by trustees. The temple is open daily from 6 a.m. to 1 pm and 4 pm to 8:30 pm.

In Tulunadu, in the 10th century, Kundavarma, the most famous king of Alupa dynasty was ruling. Mangalore was the capital of his kingdom. At that time, there came two sages named Machhendranatha and Gorakanatha from Nepal. They reached Mangalapura, crossing the river Nethravathi. The place were they crossed the river came to be known as ‘Gorakdandu’. They chose a place near the bank of Nethravathi which was once the centre of activities of sage Kapila. He had his hermitage there and it was a great centre of education.’
Hearing about the arrival of the two saints the king came to meet them. Introducing himself as the king of Tulunadu he paid them his respects and offered all help and patronage. Pleased with the humility and virtues of the king they brought to his knowledge that his kingdom was a holy place and it was sanctified by the activities of holy saints and sages in the past. They requested him to grant them land so that they could build their hermitage and make it a centre of their religious activities under his protection and patronage.
The zoo is quite good with a wide variety of animals. There are also boating and heritage sites available.
Iconic temple, well maintained and hygienic. The spiritual aura here is unmatched, and the place is extremely calm and enchanting. Car parking is available right up front, so that shouldn't be a problem. The temple has a rich history, with the donor names dating back multiple decades. Overall, a must visit temple in Mangalore.
Local deity of Mangalore by which Mangalore got its name. Located just 2 kms from the PVS circle.
Visited this temple during the Navratri, very crowded but other days it's usually peaceful.

Shri Mangaladevi Temple is believed to be built by Parasurama. In later years the temple was covered by vegetation and later renovated around 9th century. Goddess Shakthi is worshipped as Mangaladevi. The city Mangalore is named after the Goddess Mangaladevi. Big temple and well maintained.

They requested him to grant them land so that they could build their hermitage and make it a centre of their religious activities under his protection and patronage.For Kundavarma it was really a surprise to know that his land had such a hoary history. It was from these saints he came to know that once upon a time, in his land there existed a temple dedicated to mother Mangaladevi. He heard from them the story of Vikhasini, Andasura, Parashurama and the temple of Mangaladevi built by Parashurama. The two saints took the king to the places where all these historical events had taken place. They asked the king to dig the place and retrieve the Linga and the Dharapatra symbolising Mangaladevi and install them in a shrine along with Nagaraja for protection.
Kundavarma carried out the advice of the two sages. A grand shrine of Sri Mangaladevi stood on the holy place. The two sages themseleves guided and supervised the execution of the work. The temple attained special significance as Mother Magaladevi granted special favours, especially on maidens. Pious maidens who worship the goddess observing Mangaladharavrata (Swayamvara Parvathi) will heave their wishes fulfilled. They get husbands most suited for them.
Even today, heads of Kadri Yogirajmutt visit Mangaladevi temple on the first day of Kadri temple festival and offer prayer and silk cloth to the Goddess.
Have been visiting the temple since 1996. Feels really great that they haven't maintained the originality of the structure as it is. A divine place.
The temple is dedicated to Mangaladevi on whose name the city is named after Mangaluru. The temple is clean.
Mahatobaara Shri mangaladevi temple is one of the oldest temple of Mangalore.goddess shree mangaladevi is been worshiped in this temple. The city mangalore is been named after the goddess mangaladevi
One of the must visit places and such a peaceful environment and feeling when you are in the temple premises! I loved the way priests in the temple wish you all the good things in life while you offer flowers or anything to God !
