Mangaladevi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goddess Mangaladevi gives the city of Mangalore its name. She is the main deity of the Mangaladevi Temple in Mangalore. The temple was built in memory of the princess of Malabar Mangale in the 10th century. The Goddess Mangale is worshiped as Shakti.
The name Mangalore is the anglicised version, since in Kannada it is called Mangalooru. It translates as Mangala-Ooru or Mangala's town.
This temple is about 3 kms from the Mangalore city railway station. This area is well connected to different parts of the city by city buses.
Dasara & Ganesh Chathurthi are the most important festivals celebrated here.
