Kollur Mookambika Temple Legends
There lived a demon Kamhasura who got the boon from the Lord Siva that no male can kill him, started misusing his supernatural powers by troubling sages and gods. He disrupted the penance of Sage Kola who was performing poojas to the Siva Lingam. The sage prayed intensely for the Goddess Parvati, who incarnated as Thrisoolanayaki. Kamhasura came to know that his death was approaching by means of a lady. He undertook a strict penance again for the Lord Siva. Lord Siva appeared before him and asked the demon for his wish. Sensing the danger, Goddess took away his speech ability. Kamhasura was then known as Mookasura which means muted demon. Later, Goddess with the assistance of Veerabhadra slayed the demon. The Place where the Goddess killed Mookasura came to be known as Marna Katte.
The village Kollur is named after the sage Kola who was shown the Swarnarekha Lingam by none other than Lord Siva. When the saint asked Siva how he could worship the Lingam without Goddess, Lord Siva replied that that on the left side of the lingam were all the three manifestations of the Goddess – Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati will be present.
Spiritual Guru Adi Sankaracharya meditated for the Goddess Mookambika Devi at Kodachadri hills. Goddess appeared before him asking for his wish. He revealed his wish to install idol in a place in Kerala to worship. Goddess agreed by setting a condition that she will follow Adi Sankara and “he should not look back till he reaches his destination if he breaks the condition then he has to install her idol where she was at that moment”. Goddess decided to test this spiritual Guru, she intentionally stopped the voice of her anklets when they reached Kollur. Whereupon Sankara got doubt and looked back to check whether goddess is still with him or not. As Sankara breaks the condition, the goddess asked him to install her idol at the same place where she was at that moment. Adi Sankaracharya installed the Idol and prayed goddess to forgive him for the mistake. Goddess agreed to present at Chottanikkara temple in Kerala in the morning hours and returns to Kollur Temple by mid of the day.
Souparnika river near the temple is named after the eagle Suparna who did penance for the Goddess here and attained Moksha.
