Muguru is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India.[1][2] It is located in the Tirumakudal Narsipur taluk of Mysore district in Karnataka.

There is a famous temple here for goddess Tripurasundari, also called as Thibbadevi.

Also, epic says, there resides the deity's better half, lord Shiva and her sister too. So, two temples, one each for Lord shiva, and another for Thibbadevi's sister also exists in this village.

There will be a famous fair that happens here during the month of January or February, mostly during the festival of Sankranthi. This fair is locally known as "Chiguru odoya jaatre". A large number of visitors come to this village to see this from mysore, bangalore, chamrajanagara and other places too.

During this festival, goddesses from neighboring villages, who according to the priest and villagers, are supposed to be sisters of goddess Thibbadevi are bought in procession to Muguru. Traditionally the sisters of goddess come to visit sri Thibbadevi and then, the procession is taken all around the village before bringing the curtains down for this 3 days long Shri Thibbadevi jaatre.
