Kalikamba Temple, Hindu temple in Lower Car Street, Mangalore, India

The Kalikamba Temple houses shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Kalikamba, Sri Vishwakarma, Sri Vasuki, along with the Navagrihas and Vasantha Mantapa.

The temple underwent extensive reconstruction in 2000, which included rebuilding the Garbhagrihas for Lord Ganesha and Goddess Kalikamba using granite stone materials.

The Vishwakarma Brahmana community, comprising goldsmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters, and architects, maintains strong connections with this religious establishment.

The temple committee organizes mass thread ceremonies every five years for Vishwakarma Brahmins from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts who need financial support.

The temple grounds contain a mathematics center called Gurumutt, named after Sri Nagalinga Guru, who is locally referred to as Ayya Guru.
