About Kollur Sri Mookambika Temple:

The architecture of Mookambika Devi Temple is that of the Kerala style. It has a big courtyard and a spacious shrine where the beautiful idol of Mookambika Devi is placed in the form of Jyotir-Linga, integrating both Shiva and Shakthi. The material of the idol is Panchaloha, an alloy of five metals. Seated in Padmasana posture, the Goddess holds ‘Shanku’ and ‘Chakra’ in her two upper hands and shows ‘Abhaya’ mudra and ‘Varada’ mudra in her other hands. The Idol is decorated with gold and diamond jewelry. Idols of Goddess Parvathi and Saraswathi are there on either side of the Mookambika Devi.
