SRI DURGAPARAMESHWARI TEMPLE - NANDIKOOR

 Saturday, 13th July 2024

Nandukoor, near Padubidri, Udupi Dist.



On our way back from Santhoor, after lunch, Nandikoor was on the way, so decided to take detour the Temple.



As it was after 3 pm, temple was closed and hardly anyone around. After some time, someone from the temple came and opended the huge old temple.

The temple is about 1200 years old, and Durgaparameshwari is the Goddess.




As per the story of Devi, Arunasura Rakshasa (Demon) secures special powers, from Brahma and wrecks havoc on earth. Godess Durga descends on earth and confronts Arunasura and kills him.



"Nandyuramma" also called by disciples, has large temple premises which was further renovated by devotees and dedicated team to improve the temple.


One special attraction about the temple is Golden plated "Dhwaja Sthambha"


We spent some time around, had darshana and left from the place.
