About
Mahalakshmi Temple is dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi. According to Hinduism, Goddess Mahalakshmi is the consort of Maha Vishnu and it is customary among Hindus to visit Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Temple and Padmavathi Temple as a yatra (pilgrimage). It is believed by Hindus that visiting these temples as a pilgrimage helps achieve moksha (salvation). It is also believed by Hindus that Mahalakshmi had appeared here to kill demon Kolhasur. It is considered one of the three and a half Shaktipeetha's in the Shakta tradition.
