The Divine Mother’s Glory

: Shri Mahalasa Narayani

Shri Mahalasa Narayani is the powerful Kuladevata (family deity) of many Hindus, especially in western and southern India. Mahalasa is another name for Lord Vishnu’s famous avataar (incarnation) as Mohini, the enchantress.

Shri Mahalasa’s most well-known temple is located at Mardol village in the western Indian state of Goa. However, temples dedicated to Her are known to exist in other states.

One temple that was recently set up and is growing fast is the scenic temple at Harikhandige, in Udupi district of coastal Karnataka. Nestled amidst hills & forests, the temple is an ideal example of deep faith, devotion, dedication and sacrifice exhibited by Her devotees.
