7 Aadisthala's of Swamy Koragajja Mangalore

The daivas Panjandaya and Koragathaniya address Maganathadi family as “Kallala Guthu”. It is the custom to preserve the valuable ornaments of Panjandaya, Banta and Koragathaniya Daiva and Bhandara of Koragathaniya Daiva, Stick (Dhante) Head Gear (Muttale) and Trishoola of Guliga Daiva in the safe custody of Maganathadi family. On an auspicious day in December, the Bhandara of Koragathaniya and Guliga will be taken from Maganathadi House to Aadisthala Deralakatte (Kanthi Kall) which is one of the 7 Aadisthalas of Koragathaniya, where Koragathanlya Dalva’s kola takes places. Guliga Daiva’s kola will take place in Guligana Katte (which is also in Deralakatte). Both the kolas take place at the same time. Guliga Daiva goes to Koragathaniya Daiva’s Adisthala Deralakatte and both the daivas meet (bheti) in the Kola. This is the age old tradition which is being followed till date. In the 7 Aadisthalas of Koragathaniya Daiva, it is strictly prohibited to construct temples, install idols, light lamps or burn incense etc. This restriction is the tradition followed here from time immemorial.
