About Kalikadevi Temple

Sirsangi is a place which is conspicuous in Karnataka and this is because of the different landmarks and sanctuaries arranged in and around this little town. Prior this place was known as Pirising however later amid the Medieval Era, the name was changed as Hirisingi.

The sanctuary of Shri Kalika Devi in Sirsangi is of legendary centrality as its name is specified in numerous Hindu mythologies. One such myth says that a holy person by the name of Vrusya Sanga was included in compensation in Vrusya Sanga Tapovan, which is presently where the sanctuary of Shri Kalika Devi exists. Be that as it may, evil presences like Narundasur (Naragunda), Bettasura (Betasur) and Nalundasur (Navalagund) irritated his meditation. At that point the Goddesses Chikkumbasura (Chikkumbi) and Hirekumbasura (Hirekumbi) murdered these evil presences paying attention to the supplications of the plain Vrusya Sanga. The Goddesses later settled down here and consequently the sanctuary of Shri Kalika Devi was raised in Sirsangi.
