Goravanahalli Mahalakshmi temple is located around 88.5 Kms from Bangalore and around 31 kms from Tumkur. It is located at Goravanahalli village in Koratagere taluk of Tumkur district of Karnataka. There is a legend that a poor man named Abbayya was blessed by Sri Mahalakshmi for his unwavering devotion, Abbayya was awarded the blessing of wealth. He began doing charity work which led his home to be called Lakshmi Nivas.
Abbayya’s brother, Thotadappa, joined Abbayya in his charity work. After Abbayya's death, Thotadappa performed poojas to the Goddess. He was asked by Mahalakshmi in his dreams to build her a shrine. Hence, Thotadappa built the Goravanahalli Mahalakshmi temple in dedication to the Goddess. Thotadappa started performing poojas.
It has been noted that a pious devotee named Kamalamma came to Goravanahalli in 1925 and saw the neglected state of the temple. She tried to restore the temple started doing pooja. But she had leave after an year. She settled there in 1952 and started performing poojas for the Goddess. Other people started arriving, waiting in queue for the darshan of Sri Mahalakshmi. In due time, the temple gained fame through the word of mouth.
I had visited Goravanahalli Mahalakshimi temple in 2009-2010. Those days there was no barricade or entry fees. This time we saw a lot of improvement in the temple and lot of shops came up. It is almost like a small village fair. Normal entry is free and special quickly entry is Rs 50. Camera is prohibited inside the temple. You can visit this place as part of your trip to other destinations near by. Architecture of the temple is based on typical Dravidian style.
