It is situated in the foothills of Kodachadri hills, on the southern bank of Souparnika River. The main deity of the temple is a swayambhu (self-born) jyotirlinga with a golden line cutting it into half, in which the left half represents Tridevis, and the right half represents Trimurtis.

Very calm and positive Temple. Very clean and tidy. Expect huge crowd always. You may need to wait for 2+ hours to enter the Temple. Good restaurants around. Not much buses, but available ones are good. People are so nice and trustworthy. The path itself is very beautiful.

One of the ancient powerful temples in south India. Must visit once in a lifetime. Situated in the mookambika wildlife reserve, nature and it's breathtaking scenery around this place is must to see.

I was captivated by the charm and beauty of this remarkable place. Every aspect of my visit, from the atmosphere to the service, left a lasting impression on me. The first thing that struck me was the warm and welcoming ambiance. The exudes an inviting and friendly atmosphere that instantly made me feel at ease. itself is a sight to behold. The attention to detail in the architecture and design is awe-inspiring. Every nook and cranny seemed to have a story to tell, and I found myself immersed in the rich history and culture of the place. It was truly a feast for the eyes and a photographer's paradise.

It is one of the ancient and historical temple in South india. Must visit this temple once in our life. Mrng 5 am onwards temple opens till 9 pm. Near by lot of hotel rooms and restaurant available. Rooms starting from 300 to 2000/-. But some restaurant are not good they are not providing good food. 100/- special q is there for praying. Otherwise normal q. Flowers, bangle, saree all are the special things giving for devi. From 30 to 500/-

This serene and positive temple offers a clean and tidy ambiance. Be prepared for large crowds, often resulting in a 2+ hour wait to enter. The surrounding area boasts good restaurants, and while bus options are limited, the available ones are reliable. The local people are exceptionally friendly and trustworthy. The path leading to the temple is remarkably beautiful, enhancing the overall experience. Despite the crowd, the tranquil atmosphere and the hospitality of the locals make it a worthwhile visit, contributing to a peaceful and fulfilling spiritual journey

Amazing temple around 2.5hrs from udupi. Last 1hr drive is in beautiful landscape full of greenery and dense clouds. Usually this place have huge rush (as told by regular visitors). At time of our visit it was around 15-20min line though we took tickets and skipped line. Men have to go without upper body clothes. And no shorts etc for anyone. When you enter main temple priest may offer you to stand on elevated structure and explain about the temple and have clear views for long time. It was definitely a calming and peaceful visit. Do buy prasad from temple authority when you exit after darshan. It has a combo which has 2 types of prasad churna, tilak, teertha jal. Also take laddoos separately. Buy more share more for prosperity 🙏

Pristine and divine place with positive vibes. Well maintained and very clean premises. They serve hot and tasty annadanam which is better than any the meals you get from any nearby hotel.

Temple is good.

A beautiful Temple with powerful Positive energy (not covid) flowing around it! Everything is smooth and systematic! A very good place to release all your negative feelings and pray for a bright future!

Inspite of standing in a long que for around 2 hours they did not allow to c god for atleast 1 minute the workers standing there were pushing every devotees. Overall the temple is awesome but the government system is worst .

A very small locality in the midst of a dense forest along the Sauparnika river is where this powerful temple is situated. A few budget hotels for stay is available in close proximity. 30-35 nos car parking space is available within the premise. Decent Washrooms are available. The place is very energetic. This temple allows darshan to gents only if they wear dhoti and no shirt on thier shoulders. For women, saree is must. Temple admin is very strict on this. Mobile phone were allowed inside temple. Good part is no body chases you behind. No beggars. Before you enter the temple, my advice to the visitors would be to know from various sources about the temple history and legend. The shrichakra in front of devi is said to be installed by Sri Adi Shankara. Get a darshan of that without fail. There are various entry tickets for quick darshan. You get Anna Prasada after your darshan based on timing. It was a real pleasure to have that. Very delicious one. Bisibelabaath and rice payasam were served to us. Devasthanam also sell prasadam. They also offer kashaya or kadaa, but only on specific time. Please ask priests and have it. There are few shops around to collect souvenirs, definitely not overpriced. Can have a look at it if you want. It's a must visit place for a religious person. Pay a visit and have the blessings of Shri.Mookambika devi.

Total Bliss visiting this temple. A must visit temple in south India. The place is open almost every season. Easy accessible place. You have regular bus service to this temple. You have all facilities around the temple. The temple is well maintained.

This is a great place in Karnataka. We can feel positive energy when we entering to it. The only bad thing i saw is souparnika front of the temple its totally destroyed by plastic waste.

A combination of beautiful architecture, unique cultural heritage coupled with the beauty of Western Ghats around it makes this one of the unique sites in Karnataka. You can appreciate all these things while having a spiritual experience at this holy site. Close to it lies the Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary which one can also visit.

Kollur abode of Sri Mookambika Devi is nature beauty and one of pancha devi sthala. Must visit.

It's the nature's abode in all the means. The divinity this place carry has no words. In the hustle bustle of today's life, take a break and visit this divine abode of Goddess Saraswati, and experience the utmost ecstasy filled moments of your life, walking through the narrow lanes of the traditional and natural township and embracing the nature.

Kollur Sri Mookambika temple is one of the most sacred and popular temple in Karnataka. It is believed that only if the Goddess wills, you will be able to visit the temple and not when you will. The temple timings are 5:00am to 1:45pm, 3:00pm to 9pm. Sigandur and Udupi are nearby Kollur. So, you can plan to visit those places when you are here. Additionally, there are some tourist attractions nearby namely, Kodachari Hill trekking, Arasana Gundi falls, Murdeswar beach, etc. Devotional or Adventurous, you can make either trip while on your way to Kollur.

Beautiful temple. Divine and peaceful surroundings. Just opposite to the temple the majestic kodachadri mountain is visible. When you visit this Temple, plan for trek to kodachadri mountain. Because of covid, not much rush is there.lots of hotels and restaurants are available surrounding the temple area.

This temple is a divine haven, blending spirituality and architecture seamlessly. Its serene atmosphere and cultural richness make it a must-visit pilgrimage site. ❤️🙏🏻

A very powerful Godess and one can feel the vibrations. Location provided on Google maps is wrong. Ample parking and had a quick darshan as they have Rs 500 and 100 entry tickets.

Kollur is a place u must visit if you are Devi devotee... Be aware of the long queue... I would suggest you to visit during weekdays. If you are visiting during weekend ensure to do a overnight stay and then visit early morning around 4 4 30

This is one of the best place I had visited in my life. The peace of mind after the prayer can’t be expressed in words. I don’t know whether others will be getting the same from here or not. But for me personally, I’m very much satisfied and relaxed when I complete the yearly visit here. My first trip with my wife and family altogether immediately after marriage was also to Kollur Mookambika Temple.

𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆.𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒌𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒓𝒊 𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔.𝑮𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒌𝒂 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔.

It was fantastic devotional and spiritual experience I had from Mookambika temple. This is my third visit after 10 years. So many changes were occurred surrounding area, but fortunately temple ambience was same and keeping that same old nostalgic scenes.

Temple is very good, the Darshana was quick as we bought the direct entry ticket(500 rs) that includes two adults. Very calm and quiet temple with goddess. Vidhyarambam ticket was 200 per kid and it was very quick didn’t consume more than 5 minutes. The pandit will ask to repeat couple of slokas and then the followed by vidhyarambam procedure. The temple guest house is available it’s on first come serve basis. There is no option of advance booking.

Most divine experience is cherished at this place. I would love to visit as many times as I can!

Very beautiful and divine place and temple. Full of positive vibes. Amma mookambika🙏

Inside The temple is very beautiful, but the way how they maintain crowd is not at all gud and they should priorities to clean outside temple premises like river and the parking places. They should create awareness to stop plastic pollution.

Sri mookambika temple located near the foot of the Western Ghats, on the banks of the perennial river Souparnika in Kollur village, Udupi district, Karnataka.The temple has been in existence for 1200 years. Every day there are prayers of five different kinds during Dantadavana; morning, afternoon, evening and night.

This place has divine vibes. As soo as you step in the temple premises your mind and soul feels the difference. Surrounding nature is beautiful too.

Location good but in covid time... Distance not maintained in the temple and not followed the rules... Place super very cold and nice whether... Cool and cam

Architecture is beautiful and one can feel the divinity when you enter the temple. The temple lunch is the best.

Temple was calm and peace. I recommend to visit on weekdays as the crowd will be less. Very much clean and hygienic inside the temple.

One of the must visit temples in Karnataka, dedicated to Om Sakthi in the form of Mookambika Devi. A beautiful and powerful Goddess, will get positive vibes on entering the shrine. There is a saying that Adi Shankaracharya has brought the Goddess here.

Known for the divine godess a union of lakshmi, saraswati and durga. This temple has a great belief in southern India particularly kerela, the arti, mandir and vibes are sooo powerful. Also there is a small mandir right before entry road which is known for blessings for those seeking child, people pray by tieing jhula for thier wishes.

Temple gives the positive vibes after visited the temple. Guys need to be shirtless when entering inside the temple and ladies needs to wear proper southern wears like saree/churidhar no jeans,T-shirts,hat not allowed.temple will gives kerala feel Bcz we can see lot of devotees from kerala.

One of the famous Devi temple in south india, mostly visited by devotees from Kerala. They have now dedicated building for annadhanam. The Saraswati mandap inside temple is known for vidyarambh, a ritual to formally start education for kids of 3 year's. Navaratri festival and annual rathotsav (mid March - Apr) are major festival period here. Despite being a famous temple, the surrounding is dirty especially the dirty water flowing openly in front of temple is a huge disappointment.

If you go during season you will have to wait in the queue for a considerable amount of time. They have special rates for direct darshan as well. One must not miss the Shiveli that happens all three times a day. Rooms and are available near to the temple on different rates.

We recently visited this place on a weekday (Thursday). Temple premises was very clean and less crowded. There are timings when it's closed for Darshan and we were lucky to reach before time. Inthe morning around 10 they close Darshan for 30-45 minutes. For men- it's mandatory to be shirtless while taking Darshan (Jeans/Trousers/Lungi is fine). You can easily find clean restroom and few restaurants near temple vicinity.

A small temple where I would love to go again. The temple is well organized. I loved the people, both inside and outside temple. They were sweet and helpful.

It is a Hindu temple dedicated to the Mother Goddess known as Mookambika Devi. Mookambika is the union of Adipara Shakthi and Parabramha as the Linga has integrated on its left side Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi. About 2 hours from Udupi and walkable distance from bus. Temple is properly maintained and for special darshan additional fare is required. Temple vibes is amazing. Must visit. #feltblessed

True divinity is synonymous with inner peace. My inaugural visit to the Sri Mookambika Temple was truly remarkable. Despite the crowds due to the long weekend, I thoroughly relished the spiritual atmosphere within the temple precincts.

Kollur Mookambika temple is a well renowned Devi kshetra and well visited by devotees across Southern India besides the other parts of the country. The temple, built in typical Kerala style, houses Devi, who is said to be quite powerful. The temple was initially a dense forest, but now, houses several facilities including restaurants and lodges, besides shops and toilets for the benefit of pilgrims. Owing to the huge crowds, the vehicles are not allowed to enter the vicinity of the temple. The parking space is about 700-800m away (7-10 min walk). The temple also provides anna prasada to all devotees (Langar), free of cost, which is simple and delicious. This demonstrates the importance of equality amongst all... Please try whilst here. Waiting time can be anywhere between 30-90 min depending on the rush. Please factor this when planning for a trip. Nearest major towns are Udupi (60km) - 1.5 hrs and Mangalore (100KM) - 2.5 hrs. The road is hilly and very scenic. One could visit Jog falls, Murdeshwar and Sringeri from here.

😍

Best temple

1200 Years old Kollur Mookambika temple, considered as the most sacred place for keralites ,out of Kerala. Kerala is known as a very divine place by Indians, but the natives had many misfortunes even since the days of Shankaracharya. Adi shankara once worshipped goddess Saraswati in order to bring the deity to his native Kerala, where none of her temples existed. When Devi answered his prayers, he told her his wish is to see her accompanying him to proceed to kerala. She agreed to come, but only in one condition - that when he was walking she would follow and if he stops and looks back, she will stay there itself and will not continue. Adi shankaracharya agreed. So they started walking down from Kodachadri hills. While walking, he could hear the sound of her anklets, so he made sure that she was with him. Suddenly, the sound of the anklets stopped. Adi shankara looked back in intense doubt. When he saw she was still with him, Adi shankara apologized, knowing that he had broken her condition. Devi said from now on she will bless her devotees here, in Mookambika. But he was determined to take her to Kerala. On seeing his determination she said "Fine then. In the morning, for nirmalya darshanam I will reside in Chottanikkara temple in Kerala and bless my devotees". And "Then I will return back to Kollur Mookambika Temple Kollur"."

Excellent
