Kateel is a sacred place for Hindus in Dakshina Kannada.
This temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga Parameshwari.
The holy temple is situated in the middle of the sacred
river and is surrounded by panoramic scenes and fascinating
greeneries. The devotees are overwhelmed with pious
emotions when they glance at the flowing water in the
river, which embraces all around the lower layer of
the temple. Kateel is 29 K.M. distances from Mangalore
city.
After entering main entrance ands before entering into
the temple, on the left side a big symbolic rock can
be seen that is called as Goddess Rakteshwari. Pooja
are performed everyday to Goddess Rakteshwari. On every
Sankramana devotees offer coconut sevas to the Goddess.
There also lays a shrine dedicated to Goddess Chamundi,
another form of Goddess Durga Devi.
Free meals are offered to devotees and visitors every
noon and night. Devotees accept these meals with great
devotion and treat this as a grace of Goddess Shree
Durga Parameshwari. Since Goddess Shree Durga Parameshwari
likes dance and music, a play team is dedicated exclusively
for the cultural activity of Yakshagana (folk play)
depicting the miraculous power and grace of Goddess.
