The book ' Mulkiya Savantaru' written by the famous folk scholar Muddu Moodubelle is a tribute to the entire history of Mulki.

Hindus in Mulki are very diverse in themselves with a significant population of Billavas, Mogaveeras, Bunts, Goud Saraswats and Tulu Brahmins.
Tradition tells us that years ago this temple was caused to be constructed by a Muslim called Bappa who seemed to have discovered the linga submerged under water in the locality, when he was engaged in trade.
Keeping this in mind, the family of Bappa Byari is honoured to this day with the Prasad of Devi when the Utsavamurthi is taken out in a grand procession.
