One of the best example for our ancient architecture, it looks awesome and really feels the positive energy inside the temple which is now lesser in many temples due to commercialization. I would say must visit place near Mangalore and enjoy some good positive time with family.

Beautiful temple, peaceful place.This temple near to bus stand.Parking facilities are available.Beautiful place.Flower Shops,Pure Veg hotels are available near to temple. Toilets are available near to temple.Wooden works are beautiful.

Beautiful temple and the structure is beautifully carved. The Goddess temple is a delight to the Eye and the mind.

It's a big temple with ample parking space around the premises. There's a public toilet on the back side.

Visited Polali temple for the second time, I don't have memories from 1st visit because that time I was a small baby😄. This temple is far away from its DWARA located in city. I suggest you to visit this place in August- October. When it rains, journey as well as temple surrounding ambiance will give you peace😇 Renovated architecture of this temple is amazing, sit inside the temple for few minutes and observe the detailed woodwork. Daytime mahapooja is from 12.20pm to 12.30pm. Don't pollute the holy place, maintain COVID-19 protocols. Go with your family and stay blessed🙏

Very neat and clean temple. Generates spiritual energy. Beautiful wood carvings along the walls of the temple depicting stories from the Puranas.

The Temple of Polali Rajarajeshwari is a temple situated in Karnataka, Polali, Dakshina Kannada district. The temple’s main Deity is Shri Rajarajeshwari. The temple was built by King Suratha during the 8th century AD and was developed by many dynasties that ruled the region. Shri Rajarajeshwari’s idol is moulded entirely from clay with special medicinal properties. The temple portrays Hindu architecture with roofs decorated with gods and copper plates carved in wood. The Polali Rajarajeshwari temple is located in Polali on the banks of the Phalguni River in Bantwal taluk village Kariyangala, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka. The temple is surrounded by lush paddy fields. The river Phalguni flows north of the temple. Mangalore is the closest temple town at 19 kms distance. 🔴HISTORY The Polali Rajarajeshwari temple has been mentioned in many ancient inscriptions, including the Markandeya Purana, Ashoka inscriptions and travel accounts of ancient travelers. The temple around the clay idol was built in the 8th century AD according to an inscription found in the area of the temple. It’s a widely held belief that King Suratha built the temple, and that the king offered his own crown, stuffed with precious jewels, to be placed on the deity’s head. The king, having lost most of his kingdom in a war and being deceived by his own ministers, is thought to have taken refuge under a sage called Sumedha in forests around what now is the temple’s site. Historically it is assumed that the clay statue of the principal deity in the temple is up to 5000 years old. It is reported that the King himself carved Shri Rajarajeshwari’s clay idol and offered penance to the deity in return for his kingdom. Many ancient inscriptions alluding to the temple have been reported around the temple, but have been lost over time primarily because of the neglect of its keepers. The remaining inscriptions available today have been obtained in the village of Kariyangala, Ammunje and in the temple itself and are now under the custody of the government of Karnataka. Several dynasties ruled the area surrounding the temple including Kadamba, Chalukya, Alupa, Rashtrakoota, Hoysala, Vijayanagara, Ikkeri, Mysore etc. Most of those dynasties spent a lot of capital on this temple and donated farmland for the temple’s benefit. 🟡ARCHITECTURE Records written in 1448 by Abdul Razzak indicate the temple was originally built from molten brass. He reported that there were four platforms within the temple. On the highest of platforms, there was an image of the god, 5 to 6 feet in height, with red rubies for eyes. Today, the principal deity’s statue, Shri Rajarajeshwari is a 10-feet-high stucco image of the deity.

Blessed by the goddess temple which is a delight to eyes and mind. .Wooden carvings inside the temple are very intricate and one can only appreciate the time and effort spent on creating such carvings...Lunch is great... Well maintained temple surroundings and enough parking space..A must visit place..🙏

The temple in itself is breathtaking because of its rich heritage and strongly felt Devi's grace, the architecture after renovating the temple a few years back for brahmakalashotsava makes it nothing less than heavenly. Everyone in and around the temple are very polite and patient towards the visitors of the temple.

Shree Kshetra Polali is in the heart of this village surrounded by high hillocks and wide paddy fields. River Phalguni flows from the east on the northern side a furlong way from the temple. It turns left towards the south at the back of the shri Rajarajeshwari Temple on the Western side. It is believed that King Suratha got the shri Rajarajeshwari Temple constructed, installed the image, and placed his crown on the head of the image. This is an ancient temple. This shri Rajarajeshwari Temple has been alluded to in the Ashokan inscriptions and in the reports of the foreign travelers who visited India. Queen Chennammaji of Keladi visited Polali and got a grand chariot constructed for the shri Rajarajeshwari Temple. When evil forces gained strength and got the upper hand and embodied themselves as demons and began to destroy the Dharma Setu (Bridge of Dharma). Rajas and Tamas were the most predominant evil qualities in them. They tortured the people in innumerable ways. In such a situation Shree Bhuvaneshwari, Divine Mother assumed divine forms with the names Kumari, Tripura, Kali, and Durga and established the age-old Dharma by destroying the wicked and protecting the good. These facts have been explained in Shastras and Puranas. The above were fractional incarnations of Shree Mahadevi just like the incarnations Matsya (fish) and Koorma of Lord Mahavishnu. But Shree Lalitha Devi was the full incarnation of Shree Bhuvaneshwari. After their coronation, She was called Shree Rajarajeshwari. Her sacred story is as follows: After the untimely death of his wife Gouri, Lord Rudra renounced all activities and started severe penance. Seeing this Kama the God of Love shot Rudra with his darts of love. Rudra in rage opened his third eye and burnt the Kama into ashes. After many years Lord Ganesha made a human form with that ash and placed it before Rudra. Lord Rudra looked at it with compassion and an inert image became a living being. Nandikeshwara initiated him with the holy Rudramanthra. The ash-born being repeated the mantra with an implicit faith and incessantly prayed Lord Shiva (Rudra). Lord Shiva became highly pleased with him and blessed him with many boons. This being became famous as Bhandara. Later, after many years with the advice of Divine sage Narada, the destitute Gods engaged themselves in meditation, worship, and penance to make the Divine Mother manifest before them. They even got ready to Sacrifice their bodies in the blazing fire of Yajna. Shree Bhuvaneshwari in Manidweepa (Island of gems) saw the sufferings and penance of Gods and appeared before them in the bright form of Lalitha Devi, which is the full incarnation of Shree Bhuvaneshwari. Gods of heaven and Thrimurthis built a maha mandapa and a chariot for Shree Bhuvaneshwari with the help of Vishwakarma.

Highly devotional place with all amenities to tourists

Very good place

Nyc

Temple is located very good place. Seperate lunch for Brahmins and others. Sarees are given free on special occasions (like today). Easier to travel to BC Road Bantwal. Prasada (lunch) is very delicious. Nearby lodge available to stay but same has not been recommended. Nearest place to visit is Pilikula & Kudupu Anantapadmanabha. Temple closes afternoon.

Very Nice Place to Visit. Wooden art work is Magnificent. Very Calm Place. Away from the City. A bit of Parking issue, rest everything is Just Awsome.

Nice temple and had seen the amazing woodwork around the temple.

It's a very beautiful and peaceful temple for godess Rajrajeshvri ( Gurga ji ). The architecture is amazing beyond words, this temple shows the richness and craftsmanship of our Hindu culture to create such master peace, on our mother earth. MUST VISIT

Polali temple is surrounded by greenery.Its a very popular temple that attracts many devotees.Goddess Rajarajeshwari has some extraordinary power that makes you feel connected to temple every time you visit.... 25-30KM frm Manglore 14-15KM frm BC Road

Very beautiful and well maintained Devi temple. The carving inside and outside are really beautifully made. There is facility for prasad after 12 noon. Temple is very peaceful and different devi avatar are carved in Shaktistambh looks very powerful. Big temple with very unique design style. Must visit...very Devine.

Temple have crowd. Still COVID rules are strictly followed here. Devotional environment.

Beautiful temple, serene location, river nearby

Adobe to Rajarajeshwari goddes, the place is highly revered by the Hindu community. We visited on a Friday evening and it wasn't much crowded and we were able to get divine darshan of goddess. The temple architecture is magnificent and speaks about the architectural prowess our ancestors had. Gives immense positive vibes after visiting this temple. There's ample parking space available. Vendors selling flowers and other offerings are seated outside the temple as well.

Very beautiful temple. Good Parking space is available and also toilet facilities near the parking. Nearby temple U can find Flower stall, bus stands and veg hotels.

Very beautiful temple which was renovated two years ago. The deity is the giver of food and hence there is Dasoha (free meal) to all visitors every day.

Exceptionally well kept 8th century temple with newer woodwork tastefully added to the old architecture. They do serve prasad for every visitor at lunch time. Parking is available around the temple. Photography not allowed inside.

Divine...i visited the temple during its fair time. There was afternoon annaprasadam too. It was crowded. But, the security managed it well. The dirty was enchanting. I could not keep my eyes off her. Parking facility is there but a bit far from main entrance. There are a number of buses to commute to Mangalore which is a plus point.

What a vibe , it’s truly a divine experience. Seeing the goddess itself in live is something beyond explainable. You have to experience this yourself . Everytime you see devi you will be mesmerised. Also most of the people come here for Chandi Homa . If you are stuck with any court case or any where you want to win this homa is good if you do they say . In the early days kings used to do this before going to war and it was sureshot win . Not much of hotels to eat hardly 2 or 3 but it’s decent one which is near to temple entrance . Don’t miss the afternoon temple food it’s too good

25 kms away from mangalore city, a very nice temple which the locals visit almost on a daily or weekly basis. Built in the 8th century, well maintained and renovated.
