Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi Temple

About this place

A highly revered city temple known for its strong “urban Shakti” vibe—busy yet deeply devotional. Visitors come for quick darshan, wish-fulfilment prayers, and the lively atmosphere of offerings and rituals that feel rooted in local life. The temple is also a cultural stop because it reflects Visakhapatnam’s older neighbourhood identity and everyday faith practices that continue alongside the modern city.

History & highlights

Local tradition links the origin to the discovery of the goddess idol near an old fort area; accounts describe the idol being found in a well and later re-situated due to road widening, showing how living worship adapted with civic change while retaining sanctity. This “found idol → established shrine → urban landmark” arc is central to how the temple’s story is remembered today.
