Mallikarjuna temple is one of Kasaragod’s oldest and most famous temples, dedicated to Lord Shiva, also known as Mallikarjuna. The temple is located near the taluk office in the heart of Kasaragod city. To the south of the temple, the Kumbala River flows. According to legend, Arjuna adorns Lord Shiva’s idol in the shrine (Arjuna in classical Sanskrit is one of the Pandavas, the heroes of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.)
The Ikkeri monarchs built the temple in the seventeenth century to facilitate the devotion of the warriors brought from Karnataka. The temple had been neglected for a long time. The temple’s location had to be changed in 1977 due to the railway line’s acquisition of temple lands. The renovation committee later rebuilt the key structures. In 1985, the compound wall was built.
