History & tradition
The Marikamba Temple is in Sagara in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka and enshrines the goddess Marikamba Devi. It was built in the centre of the town in the reign of Venkatappa Nayaka, who ruled the Keladi and Ikkeri kingdom in the 16th century; Marikamba was the family deity of the Nayakas of Keladi. Tradition also connects the goddess of Sagara with a visit by Adi Shankaracharya during his travels in South India.
