History of the Temple
According to temple history, centuries ago a local ruler (Palegara) named Dashavantharaya sought the protection of Goddess Chowdeshwari. He promised her a permanent place in his territory. The Goddess agreed and chose the location, which later came to be known as Mathikere.
One of the many miracles associated with the temple is that it was constructed in less than five months, which devotees consider a divine marvel. It is believed that all temple activities and management decisions are carried out strictly according to the guidance of the Goddess herself.
