Annai Sri Mookambika Devi Temple is an ancient 1,200-year-old pilgrimage shrine situated at the foothills of the scenic Kodachadri hills on the banks of the sacred Souparnika River in Udupi District, Karnataka. The holy shrine was consecrated by Sri Adi Shankaracharya, who installed the sacred Panchaloha idol of Goddess Sri Mookambika Devi above the self-manifested Swayambhu Lingam.
Devi Mookambika embodies the divine trinity of Mahasaraswathi, Mahalakshmi, and Mahakali. The temple is globally revered as a primordial seat of knowledge, fine arts, and spiritual wisdom, attracting thousands of devotees daily for Chandika Homa and Vidyarambham ceremonies.
