About Boliyar

Boliyar is a small village located in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka state in India. The village is known for its serene surroundings and lush greenery. It is situated at a distance of around 20 kilometers from the district headquarters of Mangalore. The name Boliyar is derived from the Kannada word "Boli" which means a pledge or a promise. The village is believed to have got its name from a promise made by a local chieftain to a group of travelers who were passing through the area. The chieftain promised to provide them with food and shelter for the night, and the travelers, in turn, promised to spread the word about the hospitality of the people of Boliyar. Boliyar is primarily an agricultural village, with the main crops being paddy, coconut, and areca nut. The village is also home to a number of small-scale industries, including handloom weaving and pottery. One of the notable landmarks in Boliyar is the Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Durga. The temple is believed to have been built in the 16th century and is a popular pilgrimage site for devotees from all over the region. In recent years, Boliyar has seen some development in terms of infrastructure, with the construction of new roads and the establishment of a few small businesses. However, the village still retains its rustic charm and is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
