Raktheshwari:

Past the Pravesha Gopura (entry tower) and before entering the railed bridge leading up to the shrine skirted by the river can be seen a huge rock. This is the Raktheshwai before the Devi took the form of female bee to kill Arunasura. She killed his flowers and his army in the form of Raktheshwari. The mother is found of music and dance and also of Yakshagana. When Yakshagana is being played in the car street of the temple She is believed to sit on a stool beside this stone and watch the performance. She is worshipped three times (at three joints of the day time) every day. On every Sankramana day devotees from the locality and form outside make offerings of coconuts.

ಇದು ಕಟೀಲಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ರಕ್ತೇಶ್ವರೀ ಬಂಡೆ ಕಲ್ಲು.
ದುಂಬಿಯ ರೂಪ ತಾಳಿದ ದುರ್ಗೆ ಈ ಕಲ್ಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿ ಕುಳಿತಾಗ ಅರುಣಾಸುರ ಖಡ್ಗದಿಂದ ಬಡಿದ. ಆಗ ಆಕೆ ಆತನನ್ನು ಕೊಂದಳಂತೆ. ಅರುಣಾಸುರನನ್ನು ದುಂಬಿಯಾಗಿ ಬಂದು ಕೊಂದು ಭ್ರಾಮರಿಯೆನಿಸಿದ ದುರ್ಗಾಪರಮೇಶ್ವರೀಗೆ ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ಅತಿಪ್ರಿಯವಂತೆ.
ಆಕೆ ಇದೇ ಕಲ್ಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತು ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಪ್ರತೀತಿ.
