Very nice and powerful temple which is located on Indrakeeladri hill top. There is free chappal stand and we can also keep luggage in counter for Rs. 5 and go for darshan. They are allowing cell phones and hand bags. We can take free darshan or can buy Rs. 100, Rs. 300 or Rs. 500 for fast darshan. We took darshan on Saturday night and on Sunday early morning, there was no queue, darshan completed in 10 minutes. There was a 7 floor building where lift is available to go to hill top. We can climb steps of building or climb steps of hill or can go by lift to reach temple. Lift is free for everyone, but some staff are rude and asking to buy 100 or 300 ticket to use lift, but we asked in counter, they said we can go by lift without ticket also. After going up by lift, there were seperate queue lines for free, Rs. 100 and Rs. 300. People who buyed Rs. 500 ticket are allowed to go inside the raja gopura. They are selling saree worn by durga maa and the starting cost is Rs. 3000/- for saree, and there were upto Rs. 10,000/- sarees. They are selling prasad down hill only like pulihhora, laddu, chakkara pongali etc.

The main deity in the temple is goddess Kanakadurga devi. Considered extremely scared and powerful. This is a very famous temple and hence gets crowded hugely during festive seasons. No mobile phones and bags strictly in the temple premises. Parking could become an issue.

A very beautiful of goddess kanaka durga devi and malleswar swami. This is very ancient and most beautiful temple, as per history cellestial gods were thinking about earth how to develop and then goddess durga devi appeared and settled on the mountain and made this place green and filthy with resources and people. Most powerful temple and very powerful god it is located in vijayawada, krishna district of andhrapradesh.this astounding architecture is built in Dravidian fashion.the temple is surrounded by the hills of indrakeeladri right along the bank's of krishna river. The temple finds mention in many scared texts and vedic literature. As well as it is a reversed temple, among devotees and followers. People visits this temple to show there respect and devotion to the goddess supreme and seek her blessings, the temple has delighted rules and timings for darshanam and seva opurtunities are booked in online

Nice place to visit. 1. All the items you buy are high selling price than M.R.P rates. 2. Seperate ways to go to temple. Ghat road and steps to go by walk. 3. Seperate lines for dharshanam. 4. Free food for all devotees. 5. Officially phones and camers were not allowed but most them carry secretly. Good thing about this place is everything is maintained very good

It's a good and nice place for devotion. People come from all around to offer their prayers here. It's just 2km from the railway station and management is ok. You have to keep your mobile, bags etc down and you have to go to the hill. Lifts are available for devotees and you can walk 1 min from the 7th floor to reach there. People also walk and go up. Parking and transport is available around 500m from the entrance and it's situated in a very busy area. Overall a great and nice experience.

Good place... Darshan ticket 100/- is very good easy access nd not time taking... Mobile phones not allowed to temple.. After darshan we collect phone take photos... Prasadam also very tastey

This place best devotional. This is famous temple in Vijayawada. During Dasara time it’s fully functional. I went recently they are taking precautions for COVID 😷. Top view form the temple is awesome 🤩. We can’t carry out phone inside . You can get your car

Divine feeling seeing godess. Not too much rush. 3 kind of darshan available. Free, 100 and 300 rupees darshan. There is lift facility available but lift can be used only if you buy 100 or 300 rupees ticket. This is not acceptable. Cell phones are not allowed to temple and you have to deposit in the counter outside and they charge 5 rupees. Personal vehicles are not allowed up stairs. So either walk or buy 100/300 ticket and go up by stairs

The entry has a restriction for mobiles which need to be deposited at the mobile bank like centre... payable..rent of 10 odd RS per mobile. Beautiful temple must visit if in Vijayawada. Better to avoid during festivals especially Dasara/Durga pooja months.. We took a special ticket at the counter and our darshan was slightly faster than the general crowd. Got to climb 7 floors to reach the temple, the steps are not very steep. Though they have lift facility, lift is not operational all the time. Travelling with elders may be tough if they are unable to climb stairs..

A very beautiful temple of goddess kanak durga devi and Malleshwar Swamy. This is very old temple, as per history Cellestial gods were were thinking about earth how to develop, and then goddess Durga appeared and settled on this mountain and made this place green and filthy with resources and people. If you are a devotee, you should visit this place. Nice arrangement for darshan and Prasad, you will get all the positive vibes here. Mobile phones are not allowed inside.l the temple, so you have to submit at the counter.

The popular legend is about the triumph of Kanaka Durga over the demon King Mahishasura. It is said that the growing menace of demons became unbearable for the natives. Sage Indrakila practiced severe penance, and when the goddess appeared the sage pleaded to her to reside on his head and keep a vigil on the wicked demons. As per his wishes of killing the demons, Durga made Indrakila her permanent abode. Later, she also slayed the demon king Mahishasura freeing the people of Vijayawada from evil.It is mentioned in the Hindu scriptures that the deity in the Sri Kanaka Durgamma Devasthanam is regarded as Swayambhu or self-manifested, hence considered very powerful.During the month of Sraavanam, Varalakshmi Vratam is performed on all Fridays with special reverence. More than 20,000 people attends the celebrations during this month.

Had a great experience, after long time had some peaceful mind. All arrangements are good for devotee, a must visit Temple. Jai Dugra Maa. 🙏

This temple is the major attraction in the vijaywada or bejawada area. This is one of the best tourist spot in the andhrapradesh state where there is no proper development in the tourism sector. After reaching to the pandit nehru bus station you have various options to reach the temple among them the best option was taking the devasthanam bus to the top of the hill through ghat road or you can reach the temple by steps also. All in all my visit to this temple is very peaceful from above you can have the view of Prakasam barrage and the Krishna river and flood plains and the adjacent conglomeration.

Most Powerful God Durgamma along with her husband shiva makes you feel good after visit.. especially mental disturbances, nagative feelings will remove automatically.. better have a full night sleep for peace at temple surroundings. Take Krishna pushkar bath before visit.

Kanakadurgamma Temple situated on the banks of river krishna, Indrakeeladri, Vijayawada. This holy shrine of Goddess Durga is a Swayambhu (self-manifested) and is the second largest temple in Andhra Pradesh.

the Srichakra and initiated workship of Kanaka Durga in vedic ways, and avoided animal sacrifice Vijayawada is known in mythology as Vijayavata, and is mentioned in some inscriptions as Rajendracholapura also. it is a famous place of pilgrimage on the river Krishna, and ‘has a temple dedicated to Lord Siva in his aspect of Malleswara or Jayasena. Sage Agasthya is said to have been the greatest devotee of this deity and admirer of the deity’s several leelas.The origin or installation of Kanaka – durga Devi at Vijayawada is unknown. She is said to be Swayambu or selfmanifest. She also takes the aspect of Chandi or destroyer of the demon Durgama who was causing havoc among the peace – loving inhabitants of Dakshinapatha. One of these hills is called Indrakila, which is a famous hill mentioned in the Mahabharata as the place where the Pandava hero Arjuna obtained from Lord Siva an important weapon called Pasupatastra. The aspect of Lord Siva who appeared before Arjuna for granting him the boon is Kirata or the hunter. Bharavi in his celebrated Kavya “The Kirtarjuneeya” has immortalized this. The temple of Vijayeswara is attributed to Arjuna to commemorate the event of obtaining Pasupatha. The shrine has the representation of this and many other events of the Mahabharata depicated in sculpture form.

Visited Kanaka durga temple and the darshanam completed in 15 min. I have some really different feel here of getting into lift to visit the godess which I haven't seen anywhere. Though the temple is from many years, the development looks very very dull and it could be been lot lot better. The view from the top looks very good and the godess is very powerful and famous in the state of Andhra Pradesh. For more details and posts, please visit : LETSTRAVELHYDERABAD on Instagram.

One of the must visit places of Andra Pradesh, the durga Malleswara temple itself is a spiritual place surrounded with the Krishna river. The vibrant atmosphere and beautiful architecture create a peaceful experience. The temple's religious significance and the breathtaking view of the city make it a must-visit for both locals and tourists.

Also known as Sri Kanaka Durga temple. There are busses and auto directly from the station and bus stand. The temple is situated on a hill top. So there is free darshan by walking and chargeable Darshan with prices of INR 100, 300 and 500. In the above you will be using an elevator to reach the temple. Mobile phones are not allowed inside temple premises. The entry through the stairs is not so good. There are luggage keeping and shoes keeping facilities. Prasadam counters are present as well.

This temple is very powerful Shaktipeetam ,Sri Durga matha and Malleswara swamy located on Indrakiladri hill

WELL KNOWN DEVOTIONAL PLACE. CLIMATE IS GOOD IN RAINY & WINTER SEASON, BUT IN SUMMER ITS TOO HOT. BEWARE OF THE STONES FALLING FROM THE HILL TOP.

Super duper crowded with devotes all over the place. Spritual area full of positive vibes.

Kanaka Durga Temple in Vijayawada is a revered pilgrimage site. Devotees praise its spiritual aura, stunning architecture, and the divine presence of Goddess Kanaka Durga. The temple's hill location provides panoramic views of the city and Krishna River. Pilgrims appreciate the well-organized darshan system. The festive atmosphere during Navratri adds vibrancy. However, due to the heavy footfall, it's advisable to plan visits during weekdays for a more serene experience. Overall, it's a sacred destination reflecting both religious significance and architectural beauty.

A spiritual and divine temple of Kanaka Durga , located on banks of krishna river, A MUST VISIT location in Andhra pradesh

Had a great experience, after long time had some peaceful mind, Kanakadurga Temple located on the banks of Krishna River and adjacent to Prakasam Barrage. The Temple is located on the Indrakeeladri hill. Jai Mata Di 🙏🌸🙏

Very nice Hindu Temple. We can see the vibration on stepping in to the temple. Very powerful goddess. People visiting vijayawada should make a point to visit this temple

One of the Most famous Sri Durga maheshwari (Kanaka Durga temple) temple of india, 2/3 most visited temple in Andhra Pradesh after tirupati,simhachalam

Beautiful temple of Devi. Photography is not allowed inside the mandir. Mobile has to be submitted in the clock room. But some people have allowed to carry their mobile phones which against the rule & security guards is not taking any action against them. Jai Bhavani Jai Ambe...

No proper response from employees and the worst thing is, if you stay night at temple you will face dangerous situations in your life. There is no rest rooms and there is no security for your things. Always Thiefs are roaming besides you only untill you sleep, once you sleep they will do their work.

It's a very nice place to visit and it is on the top of the hill, so that we can experience a best view.

Visited yesterday and had a very wonderful darshan. I visited @9:00am with a Rs. 300/- ticket and crowd was a bit low then, hence got an ample time to spend inside temple.

First of all i suggest you visit early morning hours to avoid floating. For me it takes 15minutes to finish the entire darshanam. Only thing is less directions provided, so much confuse within the temple.

Om Sri Durgayai Namaha It was a nice experience to have a darshnam of Goddess Durga maatha. But when you visit for the first time they may get confused about how to reach to indrakelaadri hill (Temple) from railway station. I didn't find a source in Google about how to reach the temple before visiting the temple. There are only temple buses available to go to the indrakelaadri hills from the bus station and some other transport like auto or cabs from railway station, The temple bus looks like a goddess ratham design. Temple buses are charging only 10/-. Distance is also very less.

It's a beautiful temple at the top of Vijayawada blessings all the people Development is going on and in the same way temple authority collecting money for everything, becomes more commercial now a days

Nice place.pleasent atmosphere and we can see vijayawada town,Prakasam barrage and krishna river from topside.bus stand also very near.prefer road for darshna because road side view is excellent for taking photos.for old and handicap people lift is also provided.one who is gonig through stairs need to claim 7 floors.

Devotional place to visit.. You can go through lift by purchasing darshana ticket (100/-,300/-,500/-) Easiest way to finish Darshana within no time.. Watching durgamma is pure bliss..

It was very nice darshan. We took 300/- ticket & mainly there is lift to temple which made easy for us to go up without any problem.

Kanaka Durga Temple (also popularly known as Kanaka Mahalakshmi Temple) is a famous Hindu Temple of Goddess Mahalakshmi located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The temple is located on the Indrakeeladri hill, on the banks of Krishna River. Kaalika puraana, Durgaa sapthashati and other vedic literature have mentioned about Goddess Kanaka Durga on the Indrakeelaadri and have described the deity as Swayambhu, (self-manifested) in Triteeya kalpa.

Had a very good darshanam of Ammavaru….in mid afternoon with no rush during the weekend. Only concern is parking…. No parking facility for the normal people.. only with cup tickets are allowed on to the hill for parking and the parking on ground is maintained by brokers or else u have to suffer. My self parked car in hotel and then returned back again for darshanam by Auto due to the parking issue.

Vijayawada Durgamma temple soo beautiful.durgamma very powerful.most of the people know, Vijaywada IndirakeeladriDurgamma Temple.Ammavari sevas also very good.Temple was amazing and clean and well maintenance.

Best experience, very powerful temple, Krishna barage is awesome but rush is huge during Sunday's. Blessed

Peaceful place Devotional area Everything was good With in 10mins of time dharsanam completed

Kanaka durgamma temple a most powerful god amma, iam visiting more time this time newly constructed old shivayam in temple not allowing in this time my favourite god Shiva.

Loved to go the place. Very nice place to visit and the place around the temple was awesome. Free buses ly there to travel to temple. Very small mountain ly can go by stairs too.

It's a beautiful temple located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. There is no rush on normal days, however during important festivals, it is crowded. People may buy tickets costing Rs. 100 and 300 for the shorter and shortest lines respectively or prefer the longest line free of cost. Mobiles are not allowed in the temple. Those are to be deposited at the entrance. They charge Rs. 5 per mobile and give you a slip (but still some people carried mobiles upstairs and clicked pics outside the temple, NOT INSIDE). A photographer is available upstairs who charges Rs. 100 for 1 laminated photo, but doesn't provide soft copy. Photo quality is quite good. One has to climp to 7th floor to reach the temple and on each floor there are clean toilets. On some floors, you can buy jewellery, photo frames of Gods and Goddesses, tiny sculptures, flowers, coconut, toys, etc. Those who can't take stairs can go and come by lifts. There are icecream vendors, tea/coffee vendors outside the temple (downstairs). There are many shops on the way to the temple.

Nice view from the top of the hill. There is some rituals to put haldi and sindur in stairs. No mobile or camera allowed inside the temple. Nothing written in Hindi or English.

This place is dedicated to goddess Durga. Kanak durga ma is one of the 52 sakti pith. This place is very pleasant. Krishna river is hear . Per day 20 thousand people visit hear for warships.

One of the most powerful place.. Durga Devi temple .. its my first visit and i was very happy with the temple Vibes. But the only problem is no rules and maintenance is done outside and below the temple.. .. i prefer people to take vip tickets of 100- 500 and make you time easy and fast and best part is u can see it from very near..

I was planning to visit this temple from so long, finally blessed to have darshan. management was not good they said mobile not allowed and asked to keep in cloak room but there is a flaw.. people coming in 4 wheelers are bringing mobile directly from other side of the temple, they have special darshan ticket, i feel it's unfair. they should allow mobiles by taking a separate ticket. also darshan timings were very strict, i had to wait in Q line for almost 1 hour. there are no proper direction for prasadam counter.
