A Shiva temple in Yellur village of Udupi district reckoned more than a thousand years old, serving the surrounding maagane of villages and rededicated after renovation in March 2009. Maha Shivaratri is its chief festival.
A Koraga woman cutting firewood is said to have struck the ground and made the earth bleed, revealing the linga; her cry in Tulu, 'Yelluna Ooru', is held to have given the village its name.
