Sri Chandika Durgaaparameshwari Gudi — Attraction in Karnataka

The persons behind the construction of this temple are Smt. Anitha and Sri Devaraya M.Seregar and their family, who are the staunch devotees of the Goddess. They belong to Ramakshathriya community. Sri Devaraya Seregar is the son of late Smt. Gowramma and Sri Manjunath Seregar of Gangolli Hosmane. He went to Mumbai for earning his livelihood, started working there on a small scale, established an industry and flourished in life to such an extent that today its affair has shot up to the global level, giving life to thousands of people.

Of late, Sri Devaraya Seregar has purchased a land at Kumbhashi, constructed a house there and started living there. In due course, he bought a land attached to it. Quite surprisingly, Goddess Sreedevi began to appear in his dream telling him that it is Her place and so he should build a temple for her. Accordingly, about seven years ago he consulted the famous astrologer of Payyannur in Kerala Sri A.V. Madhavan , under whose guidance an Ashtamangala Prashna was put .

Through the Ashtamangala Prashna, it was found that the ancestors of the family had been working as soldiers under the kings of the region. On auspicious occasions and during war time they used to pray to Sreedevi Kalikamatha, keeping down their weapons in front of the Goddess. Sri Kalika Parameshwari was the family Goddess of the Ramakshatriya community, and they have always worshipped Lord Kote Anjaneya of Kundapura, who is the faithful servant of Lord Sreerama. The Prashna also made it clear that the Kallar Bail Balachikku Amma's proximity at Kandlur is the Goddess's abode.

It was also found through the Prashna that the spirit of the Goddess whom their ancestors had worshipped has been protecting Sri Devaraya Seregar and his family throughout and therefore it is his duty to reserve a place for the Goddess when he purchases a place for the construction of the house at his native place. In the meantime , there was a very intimate relationship between the land that he purchased and Hoovinakere vadiraja Mutt. The Brahmin family which lived there earlier, used to worship the spirit of Sreedevi given to them by Sri vadiraja. Besides Sri Devaraya is the staunch devotee of Kollur Sri Mookambika. The spirits of Sri Mahakali , Mahalaxmi and Mahasaraswathi dwelt in his house in unison. After the departure of the Brahmin family, the spirit of the Goddess whom he worshipped also settled there. Thus it was ordained that a place should be given for all the three powers : First-Sri Kalika Parameshwari,Devaraya's family Goddess, Second-Sri Chamundeshwari who came along with him , and Third- Sri Durga whom the Brahmin family worshipped. Thus it was ordained that all these are to be installed in the temple along with Lord Mahaganapathi and Lord venkatramana, and at the bottom of the Banyan tree install the Goddesses Sri Naga, Sri Nagayakshi and Sri Swarnayakshi.

Thus Smt. Anitha, Sri Devaraya M.Seregar and his family of Hosmane have decided to install the Panchaloha idol of Sri Chandika Durga parameshwari, seated on the lion's back, holding the thrishula in the right hand, chakra in the left hand, with Abhaya and Varada Hastas, to bless the people of the world for the welfare of the world.

The Chandika Durgaparameshwari temple has come out beautifully now realizing the dream of Sri Devaraya Seregar, with the readiness to do service with the purity of mind, body and thought of Sri Devara Seregar and the architect Sri Mahesh Muniyangala.

Thus in this Shakthisthal, a beautiful temple with stony sacro-sanctum has been constructed according to the principles of architecture, and Sri Chandika Durgaparameshwari and Her retinue Gods are installed and kept open for worship for the welfare of the world. All the religious rituals connected with the installation were held for nine days starting from 27.04.2018 up...
