Situated atop a hill near Soundatti in Belgaum, the
Renuka Devi Temple, popularly
called the Yellamma Devi Temple, is mainly visited by
pilgrims from Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh.
The famous Yellamma jatra takes place on the full moon
day known as the ‘Bharat Hunnime.’ On this
occasion, the goddess Yellamma is worshipped in the
manner of ‘Shakti Puja,’ complete with all
its attendant rituals.
