Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Temple, Hindu temple in Visakhapatnam, India
Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Temple is a Hindu temple in Visakhapatnam featuring a balanced, symmetrical design with a central inner sanctum. The inner chamber houses a statue of the goddess Lakshmi, with decorative elements and carved details throughout the structure.
The goddess statue was moved from its original location in 1912 but was returned after an outbreak in 1917. This event became an important part of the temple's story and strengthened its connection to the community.
The temple is dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi, who represents prosperity and blessing in Hindu tradition. Visitors can observe devotees offering flowers and light during daily prayers and ceremonies.
The temple is open daily around the clock, with brief cleaning periods during the day. Visitors can enjoy quieter times by arriving in the early morning or late evening hours.
The temple attracts notably more visitors on Thursdays, as this day holds special religious significance for worshipping the goddess Lakshmi. Additional ceremonies and special offerings take place on this particular day of the week.
