Architecture
Raja Gopuram has carvings on different avatars of Lakshmi. The Sri Mahalakshmi Temple in Goravanahalli is a beautiful example of the typical South Indian architecture in the 1900's. The temple features a large, multi colored Gopuram with smaller arches on both sides. The temple also has verandahs on either side. The main deity is housed in the Garbhagriha or the sanctum sanctorum.
Religious Significance
According to local historians, in the early 1900's, a villager named Abbayya came into possession of this idol. He worshipped the idol at home and was blessed with wealth and prosperity. His home soon came to be known as Lakshmi Nivas in honor of his charity work. Abbayya brother’s Thotadappa also worked along side Abbayya and worshipped the Goddess Mahalakshmi. One night the Goddess visited him in his dreams and asked him to build her a temple. Thus Thotadappa built a temple for the Goddess and began worshipping the idol in this shrine. After Thotadappa’s death, Chowdavya began performing the poojas for Goddess Mahalakshmi.
History
This temple was built in 1900 by Abbayya brother’s Thotadappa and renovated in 1952. Kamalamma and Chowdavya are the contributors of this temple.
