History : In the coastal belt of the western part of the land of Baratha is situated the harbour town of "Mangalapuram", or the city of "Mangalore", which is eternally blessed by the benign Mother Goddess, Mangalamba. This region was given away as a reward to sage Parashurama by Samudraraja. It is the land of enchantment of Sahyadri mountains, where the great sages Kanva, Vysa, Vashista, Vishwamitra and other in the Loral past spent their days of meditation. The Goddess, pleased with the divine wish of her beloved son, ordained the king Bhangaraja to construct the marvelous city of Mangalapura in her name so that his name too might reverberate in the distant corners of Baratha Varsha with its echoes of resonance. Bhangaraja, awoke from his dream, offered his prayers to the Goddess, and immediately set upon himself the task of rebuilding the temple and along with it the beautiful city, in the hallowed name of the divine mother. The city so built by the ancient king extended from Kaladi Kshetra to Bharadwajashrama, where people of all castes and creed lived in blissful harmony and peace. Narrow winding streets, lofty coconut trees, quaint gable-roofed houses, beautiful beaches, temples and churches, the heady fragrance of the Mangalore Mallige, the aroma of spicy coconut curries. Mangalore is indeed a city of vivid contrasts. Unfolding an enchantment that never ends
