Marigudi is part of this Shri Brahmalinga Veerbhadra Durgaparameshwari temple and run by Shettigar community. Salikeri main Temple is run by Shettigar community from more than 400 years.The statue worshiped in Marigudi is actually is the statue worshipped as Durga Parameshwari when Temple was first built. When Temple was renovated approxately 100 years ago(1922) original statue was replaced with "Panchaloha" Statue. So original statue which is made up of wooden was replaced by panchaloha statue according to rituals followed. This Mariyamma statue was kept with Nandi and worshiped for so many years. And during 3rd renovation of Temple during 2007 this statue was shifted to Marigudi near Kumara Chavadi and now Goddess is called as Mariyamma and blessing the people who ever worships her. Marigudi is built in granite stone with tile roof at top and one bali kallu in front. Puja for Mariyamma is done by people from Shettigar Community.
