Shri Marikamba Temple, Sirsi - History details

A famed Shakti peetha built in 1688 at Sirsi (Uttara Kannada), housing a 7‑ft eight‑armed Durga (Marikamba/Doddamma). The biannual Marikamba Jatre draws massive crowds; Gandhi’s 1934 visit spurred reform against animal sacrifice. Noted for Kaavi mural art and a large wooden chariot.
