Shri Mullugudde
Korgajja
The Divine Presence
Koragajja is believed to be born from the divine blessings of Lord Shiva and Parvati, carrying their strength, compassion, and protection. Worshipped with deep affection and respect, Koragajja is lovingly called “Ajja,” meaning “grandfather” in the Tulu and Kannada traditions — symbolizing a personal, familial bond between the deity and the devotee.
Unlike conventional deities who are often distant, Koragajja is seen as someone intimately involved in the daily lives of those who seek him — offering guidance, protection, and miracles in response to sincere prayers.

The Sacred Mullugudde Shrine
Mullugudde stands as a spiritual sanctuary where every corner breathes devotion. Set amidst nature’s beauty, the shrine is simple yet powerful, drawing thousands of devotees who come with hopes, troubles, gratitude, and love.
Special days like Fridays, and Sundays witness large gatherings, but at any moment, the shrine radiates an energy of peace and hope.
Visitors often say that simply stepping onto the grounds brings a sense of calm, as if the very air is blessed by Koragajja’s invisible presence.
A Living Tradition of Service
Faith at Mullugudde is not just about prayer — it is about service, humility, and community.
Every day, free meals (Annadana) are served to all devotees without discrimination. On special days, the temple feeds thousands, upholding the ancient tradition of “no devotee leaves hungry.”
This spirit of unconditional giving reflects Koragajja’s blessings — where even the simplest offerings multiply into abundant blessings for all.
A Call to the Heart
Shri Koragajja does not demand grand rituals or extravagant offerings.
A simple prayer whispered with sincerity, a heartfelt call for guidance, or an act of service to another — these are the true offerings he accepts.
It is said that when a devotee speaks to Koragajja with true devotion, the response is always received — sometimes seen, sometimes felt, but always real.
Come, experience the living presence of faith.
Come, sit under the silent gaze of Koragajja and feel your soul being heard.
In the heart of Mullugudde, faith is not just prayed; it is lived.
