In Tulu Nadu, residents revere the deity Koragajja to attain success and fulfil their utmost desires. They pursue divine intervention in matters ranging from lost belongings to career advancements. Local beliefs regard Koragajja as a historical figure, not a mythical one. As part of the tradition, devotees offer chakkuli, beedi, betel leaves, and bottles of liquor to Koragajja, seeking the fulfilment of their desires. In a recent incident in Udupi (Karnataka), a devotee offered over a thousand bottles of liquor to Koragajja.
Swami Koragajja Temple in Udupi District, situated in Katapadi stands as a prominent place of worship for devotees. Every day, several devotees visit the temple to offer prayers. Hundreds of devotees make offerings here. The sanctified liquor is then subsequently distributed among the devotees, who consume it as a form of Prasad.
A couple from Shaligram in the Udupi district was not able to conceive a baby despite being married for several years. Hence, they decided to visit the temple to seek blessings. They offered prayers for the blessing of a child, promising to offer one thousand and two bottles of liquor, if their wish was granted.
Soon, the couple was blessed with a child. True to their vow, the couple presented one thousand and two bottles of liquor to Koragajja Temple celebrating the divine influence of Petebettu Babbuswami and Koragajja. The unwavering faith of devotees in Swami Koragajja is increasing with each passing day.
Koragajja was said to be a man named Koraga Tani, who was a commoner, raised in a family with a history of thievery. The family tradition involved the consumption of liquor; they even made offerings of liquor to deities, it was their longstanding practice.
Koragajja is highly revered as the primary deity in Tulu Nadu, Karnataka. He is also the presiding deity of most of the households in the specific region.
