🛕 About Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple
The Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga in her fierce form – Durgaparameshwari. The temple is unique as it is located on a small islet in the river, offering a tranquil and divine setting. Pilgrims visit throughout the year to seek blessings, perform rituals, and attend cultural performances like Yakshagana, which the temple patronises.
📖 History of Kateel Temple
According to legend, Sage Jabali prayed to Goddess Durga to rid the land of famine. Pleased with his devotion, the Goddess incarnated as Durgaparameshwari and vanquished the demon Arunasura, restoring peace and prosperity. The temple marks the exact place where the Goddess is believed to have appeared. Kateel has since become a powerful Shakti Peetha and a cultural hub for classical performing arts.
