Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Temple, Hindu temple in Visakhapatnam, India

The Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Temple features a symmetrical structure with an inner sanctum housing a deity statue representing the goddess Lakshmi.

In 1912, the temple's idol was temporarily moved to a road, but after a plague outbreak in 1917, locals returned it to its original location.

The temple holds the month-long Margasira Masa Mahotsavam festival, drawing thousands of devotees who participate in traditional rituals and ceremonies.

The temple remains open 24 hours daily, with cleaning breaks from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, charging 20 rupees for special darshan.

Thursday witnesses the highest number of visitors as this day holds special importance for worshipping Mahalakshmi, with additional ceremonies and offerings.
