Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Temple

They charge for Darshanam which I haven't seen in any temple not in tirupati too. They accept no online payments . No shoe stand no maintenance.. This place is one of tourist attraction in vizag so they are raising funds in this way I guess which is wrong they need to think about people who can't afford. Do not do business with temple please

Very popular temple of the city. Goddess Mahalaxmi temple.
I found it very surprisingly that for the Darshan ,there was fee...50 rupees, 100 rupees and 200 rupees. I mean I was thinking about the needy people don't have enough money for praying God they are going to charge. I hope some day god will ask the question,to the trustees over here. I have visited many big temples (specially in north side and I haven't found those temple are charging. So it's very surprising.
I hope someday they will understand that this is about God not about business ,if people will donate by themselves you will earn more money then by getting this entry fee.

Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi is one of the most powerful goddess in the city. In 1912, the idol of the Goddess was found in a well and was installed in the centre of the town. But i the year 1917, the dangerous contagious disease 'Plague' spread over the town and so many deaths occurred in Visakhapatnam village. The people of Visakhapatnam were afraid of the incident and thought the devastation was due to shifting of idol of goddess 'Shri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi' and therefore, re-erected the idol to its original place, that is at the center of the road as it exists now.After the re-erection, the "Plague' disease was cured and normalcy was restored. With this, the Goddess has being celebrated fest since then.

In my childhood I went to this temple several times. Now the temple is fully developed with many facilities. I love visiting this temple again and again. Our worship to the God is very faithful.

Located in One Town Area of Vizag. Very popular Goddess. The main deity does not have roof overhead. Devotees believe that the Goddess removes obstacles in a visit. Before Carona devotees used to perform Abhishekam and Puja to idol personally. Now the personal Puja has been restricted. Devotees attending in the early morning Darshan at 6 am are allowed to do the puja. Margasira Masam is dedicated to Amma and hence the crowd will be very heavy during this month.

Post covid the crowd is not allowed to do the abhishekam to the goddess idol.

There is a grill setup in garbha gudi.. and the darshan prices are also different.

Although it’s a quite temple always available for free darshan.

We have been there with the family and each and every time we visit we find some new experience, We must visit and get the blessings in our life of Devi Sri kanaka mahalaxmi goddess of peace and prosperity.

This temple is very famous and located at old town visakhapatnam. The godess is very powerful and fulfill the wishes. That is the belief of localities. December is meant to be a auspicious month and temple deities and authorities will celebrate mela and poojas to godess Sri KANAKA MAHA LAKSHMI Devi .
