This temple was built by the Mogaveera community around 800 years ago for the dedicated Goddess Mariyamma.
They make gold ornaments in the form of different variety of fish and the deity if adorned with it, it is one of the oldest and the best known temples in the district; it is the favorite goddess of the Mogaveeras.
In those days the Kumbaras used to perform poojas to Lord Eshwara (Shiva) in the nearby katte or gudi (monuments).
And thus villagers of Mogaveera Pattanas installed the idol of Goddess Shree Maaridevi and started worshipping the Devi in the adjacent plot next to Eshwara Gudi.
As proof of their devotion, their money was then utilized to decorate the Goddess with different varieties of gold coins on her neck.
All the women, children without any age bar, co-operated in the construction of the Mariyamma Temple, by joining hands in this noble cause.
They even carried bricks, stones and other building materials on their heads and walked all the way for one and half km from Boloor.
Hence from the ancient times to this day, the Mogaveera Samaja has sacrificed everything at the feet of Goddess Maariyamma.
As proof of this Sridevi Maariyamma has ordered the "chulli" family to participate and perform all the religious ceremonies and rituals of the temple even when they have any "Sutakas" (bad omens).
