Sri Kanaka MahaLakshmi, Visakhapatnam
This temple is located in the heart of the city of Vizag. The temple has a tradition of offering prayers to the goddess directly with no priest available for doing prayers exclusively.
From the local legends it is learnt that Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi Ammavaru is the family deity of the then ‘Rajas (Kings) of Visakhapatnam’. The locality where the idol was found is called ‘Burujupeta’ since it was near ‘Buruju’ , the ‘Fort', a place of residence of the then Vijyanagara Kings. It is learnt that in the year 1912 the idol of Goddess Sri Kanaka MahaLakshmi Ammavaru was taken out from the well and it was installed at the center of the road i.e., amidst the municipal lane.
