==Religious significance==
Mangasuli is known for its temple of Lord [[Khandoba]], among the regions of Southern Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka. The name Mangasuli stands for "Malla" (name of the demon) - "suli" (killed). It is said that Lord Khandoba killed the demon Malla in this place. The other name of Lord Khandoba, Malhari or Mallari, also originates from the words "Malla" and "ari" (enemy) & "Mallayya" in Kannada language.

Khandoba of Mangasuli is the [[Kuldevta]] of many families in the region. It is a tradition to visit the temple after important events in their families (like marriage, birth of a child), to seek the Lord's blessings. Many devotees visit the place during the yearly "Utsav", which is celebrated from the first to the sixth baning moon nights of the Hindu calendar month [[Margashirsha]]. The festival culminates into a [[Yatra]] on the last day of "Champa Shashthi".
