About
Davangere, where the Durgambika Temple is located has a rich history. It was part of the Nolambavadi province of the Chalukya times. It changed hands from Chalukyas to Pandyas, Hoysalas, and the Vijayanagara kings. After the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, Davangere was for some time under the control of the Palayagar Nayaks. Then the Marathas ruled here for some time. It was then taken over by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and late by the Mysore Maharajas. During this period, Davangere became an important and prosperous textile center.
It is said that around 200 years ago, a stone was brought from Dugatti Village and installed in this temple and worshipped as Durga Devi. In 1932, this shrine was converted into the beautiful Durgambika Temple. The presiding deity is Durgambika, known variously as Durgamma, Durgambika, and Durgavva.
