Sri Ramalinga Sowdeswari Amman, Hindu temple dedicated to goddess Parvati in Karnataka, India
Sri Ramalinga Sowdeswari Amman manifests in three forms within the temple: Shakti, Chamunda, and Jyothi, each representing different aspects of divine power.
The temple origins trace back to sage Devala's encounter with five rakshasas, when Shakti intervened to protect him, leading to her recognition as Sowdeshwari.
The Devanga community considers Sri Ramalinga Sowdeswari Amman their Kuladevata, maintaining temples across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala.
The temple remains open for devotees throughout the year, with special ceremonies conducted during the five-day Jagajathara Dhoddabba festival.
During alagu seva rituals, exclusively performed by Devanga people, devotees construct decorated cart structures and distribute turmeric prasada called pandaram.
