Introduction and History in Brief
Kukke Subramanya (Tulu and Kannada: Kukke Subrahmaṇya) is a Hindu temple located in the village Subramanya, of Kadaba taluk (Earlier in Sullia taluk) in Dakshina Kannada district Karnataka. In this temple Kartikeya is worshipped as Subramanya, lord of all serpents. The epics relate that the divine serpent Vasuki and other serpents found refuge under Subramanya when threatened by the Garuda.
According to one belief, after killing the demon rulers Tharaka, Shurapadmasura and their followers in a war, Lord Shanmukha reached Kumara Parvatha with his brother Ganesha and others. He was received by Indra and his followers. Indra being very happy prayed Lord Kumara Swamy to accept and marry his daughter Devasena for which the Lord readily agreed. The divine marriage took place on Margashira shudha shashti at Kumara Parvatha. Gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra and many other deities assembled for the marriage and coronation ceremony of Shanmukha for which waters of several holy rivers were brought. With these waters of Mahabhisheka fell down to form a river which was later known by the popular name Kumaradhara. The great Shiva Bhakta and Serpent king Vasuki was performing tapas for years in the Biladwara caves of Kukke Subrahmanya to avoid the attack of Garuda. Following Lord Shiva’s assurance Shanmuka gave darshan to Vasuki and blessed him that he would stay as his parama bhakta in this place forever. Hence the poojas offered to Vasuki or Nagaraja are nothing but the poojas to Lord Subrahmanya.
Originally this temple was sanctified by Moroja family who are Sthanika Tulu brahmin’s. Sthanika tulu brahmin’s stronghold was kukke Subrahmanya, They were the chief priests and tantris of the temple till 1845 after bashful murder of their Guru, the spiritual leader Padma Theertha a disciple of the Sringeri Jagadguru Peetam. The Madhvas (shivallis) built a mutt adjacent to the temple.[3] .Even now Moroja’s are chief priests of Balpa Thrishulini Durgaparameshwari Temple and Durgaparameshwari Temple near Kukke Subramanya.
Lord Subrahmanya is the main deity of the Kukke Subrahmanya Temple. The main entrance to the temple lies to the east. The devotees will enter from the west through the main Gopuram and enter the inner quadrangle from the east. There is a pedestal in the center of the sanctum. On the Upper Dias there is the Shree Subrahmanya of the Idol and then the Vasuki of the Idol and the Shesha of the little lower Idol.
Kukke Subrahmanya is the nagas of the abode. Here pooja is to lord Subrahmanya merged with serpent king Vasuki. Hence, any sort of naga doshas can be found for the ultimate solace. Devotees of Thousands come from far and wide to offer Sarpa Samskara, Nagaprathishta, Ashlesha Bali & other rituals.
