Sacred Narrative
Mookambika is in part covered (mookambika-kollur). This entry documents her role as an Ādi-Shakti-pīṭha — the seat of Srividya tradition. Adi Shankara consecrated the Sri-Chakra yantra at her shrine. The sage Mooka attained siddhi here (hence Moo-kāmbikā = "the Mother of Mooka"). Pilgrims from Kerala cross the Kudachadri Hill passes; the full Mookambika-yātrā includes visits to the nearby Kolluru tīrtha, the Sarasvatī-kuṇḍa, and the Anjanādri peak.
