Kulai is a locality in the northern part of Mangaluru, India. It is near Surathkal.
It houses two well-known temples, namely Shree Vishnumurthy Temple and Chitrapura Shree Durga Parameshwari Temple. The area was covered with paddy fields, coconut gardens and forest, but is now a residential/commercial area. Kulai comes under the Mangalore City North constituency.
There is also a Kulai Fishing Harbour close by. The project was estimated at Rs. 196.51 crore. The construction of a northern breakwater for the harbour was partly completed in October 2024 before it was temporarily halted.
