Hi all i was in Kollur on 3rd and 4th of this month.
Just reached kannur few hours before by Madras mail which starts from
Mangalore at 1.15 pm.Reached mookambika from bangalore via shimoga 11
hour journey.
Visited Kodachadri inspite of heavy rain and Fog.
visibilty was too low as Fog type Cloud was being formed around us
during the 2 Km trekk towards " Sarvajna Peedam " on top of the peak.
On the way also visited a Ganapathi cave almost half way during the
trekk.Could not reach chitramoola caves due too poor weather
conditions (also few adventure was suspended due to this ).
But the beauty around the Hill was Excellent.Had tea inside one of
the Brahmin"s house down hill on kodachdri peak.( Started of at 9.30
am and returned at 2.30 pm).Only two of us walked towards " Sarvajna
Peedam " while others rested down the Kudachdrei temple due
to unwelcoming weather conditions on top But had a safe return due to
grace of godess mookambika and a "Dream come true "
Made friends during journey as most of them shared thier nostolgic
family stories
" Sarvajna Peedam " is one of the most beautiful places I have ever
seen .Wish to make a visit to chitramoola next time which is around 1
km down hill from Sarvajna peedam "
As per the Brahmin at Kodachadri the actual installation of goddess
staue was done by saptharishis in Himalyas.The same was a part of
Hill carried by hanuman to lanka for sanjeevani for sri ram . Later
sri ram asked him return the hill back to its place A Part of it
fell down on Kodachadri along with the divine power of goddess on
return journey.
Later Kolamaharshi and Shankaracharya found her presence on the hill
top.
*Athri, Brugu,agerasa ,Kutsa, Vasishta, Goutama, Kashyapa, were
Saptharishis as per my knowledge.
" Any one planing to visit Kodachadri can visit till the devi temple
on hill top in jeep safely &the " trekk towards sarvjna peedam can be
decided upon weather condition and enrgy level"
Regards Sarath
