Legend has it that Sages named Machhendranatha and
Gorakanatha once visited the place and told the king of the region, Kundavarma,
that the region was blessed with Goddess Mangaladevi and she is present here.
The sages asked the king to dig a particular spot. Shivling
and Dharapatra, symbolizing Mangaladevi, were recovered from the spot.
Parashurama, the fifth incarnation of Bhagavan Vishnu, had
consecrated the original temple.
King Kundavarma built a grand temple here in the 10th
century on the advice of the sages.
The temple attained special significance as Mother
Magaladevi fulfills the wishes of women. Women who worship the Goddess
observing Mangaladharavrata (Swayamvara Parvathi) will have their wishes
fulfilled. It is believed that they get good husbands with the blessing of
Goddess.
The most important person of Kadri Yogirajmutt visit
Mangaladevi temple on the first day of Kadri Temple festival and offer prayer
and silk cloth to the Goddess and take her blessings.
The most important festivals in the temple are Navratri, Deepotsava in Kartik month, annual temple festival in March and Prathishta Dina on May 17.
