Kanaka Durga Temple, Hindu temple on Indrakeeladri hill in Vijayawada, India
The temple stands above the Krishna River on a hilltop, featuring an eight-armed deity statue adorned with traditional ornaments and weapons.
The temple origins trace back to the 8th century when it was constructed as a spiritual center for worshipping Goddess Kanaka Durga in Andhra Pradesh.
During the nine-day Dasara festival, devotees witness the goddess in different forms each day, including Swarna Kavachalankara and Bala Tripurasundari.
The temple complex includes shrines of Vinayaka, Shiva, and Lord Rama, receiving thousands of visitors through multiple entrance points throughout the year.
According to mythology, the hill where the temple sits was once a devotee named Keela who requested the goddess to remain in his heart eternally.
