About this place
History & highlights
The temple was established in the early 20th century, associated with Narayana Guru, a social reformer from Kerala who promoted equality and spirituality beyond caste barriers. Kudroli became a symbol of social upliftment for backward communities in coastal Karnataka. Over the decades, it expanded architecturally and ceremonially. Today, it stands as a fusion of reformist history and traditional temple culture in Mangaluru.
