Kolkata, often referred to as the cultural capital of India, is renowned not only for its rich literary and artistic heritage but also for its deep-rooted traditions of worship. At the heart of this spiritual legacy lies the Shri Mahalakshmi Temple, dedicated to the goddess of wealth, fortune, and well-being.
The Mahalakshmi Temple is considered one of the oldest and most prominent temples dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi in West Bengal. Spanning approximately 25,000 square feet and rising to a height of 75 feet, it stands as the largest Lakshmi temple in Kolkata. The architectural design of the temple draws inspiration from the grandeur of traditional Indian temple architecture.
Visitors to the temple often believe that merely touching the golden lotus within the premises can bring them wealth and good fortune, further enhancing the temple’s significance among devotees seeking blessings.
