The eligibility of Muslims for accepting the prasad of the temple is one of the special features of the Kshethra. Muslims also participate in temple festivals. Even today the prasad of the very first day of the festival is given to the house of Bappa Beary.

The temple has been believed to be built by a Muslim merchant called Bappa. The merchant once while crossing the river Shambhavi gets to see a blood-stained river and his boat stops in between. The frightened merchant looks around and to his surprise, he hears a divine voice and asks him to seek the help of Jain ruler Mulki Swantha and build a temple for her.
