History of the Temple
It is believed that a poor man named Abbayya was blessed by the Goddess Mahalakshmi. After her sedulous worship and unwavering devotion, Abbayya was awarded with the blessing of wealth. Later, he began doing charity work and leading to his home being called “Lakshmi Nivas”.[1]
Eventually Abbayya’s brother Thodappa joined Abbayya in his charity work. After Abbayya's death, Thodappa performed the poojas, a form of worship, to the Goddess. He was asked by Lakshmi in his dreams to build her a shrine. Hence, Thodappa built a temple for Goddess Lakshmi. After Thodappa, Chowdayya started performing poojas. However, from the year 1910 onward, the temple fell into a neglected state. [2]
In the year 1925, upon arriving at Goravanahalli, Kamalamma [who?] saw the neglected state of the temple. She started performing the poojas for the Goddess. One year later, Kamalamma left the temple. But in 1952, Kamalamma returned to Goravanahalli and settled there. After this, regular poojas were performed by Kamalamma. Other people started arriving, waiting in queue for the "darshana" of Shree Mahalakshmi. In due time, the temple gained fame by the word of mouth.[3]
Tuesdays and Fridays are considered auspicious, so many people visit the temple on those days and take the "darshana" of the deity.
The open hours at the temple are 06:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 05:30 PM to 08:00 PM.
