The Shri Mahalakshmi Temple of Kolhapur in Maharashtra - India, is among the 108 of the shakti peetha, listed in various puranas of Hinduism. Also known as Dakshin Kashi. According to these writings, a shakti peetha is a place associated with Shakti, the goddess of power. The Kolhapur peetha is of special religious significance, being one of the six places where one can either obtain salvation from desires or have them fulfilled. The temple takes its name from Mahalakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, and it is believed that the divine couple reside in the area.
The temple belongs, architecturally, to the Chalukya empire, and may have been first built circa 700 AD. Mounted on a stone platform, the idol of the four armed and crowned goddess is made of gemstone and weighs about 40 kilograms. A stone lion, the vahana of the goddess, stands behind the statue. The crown contains an image of the Sheshnag — the serpent of Vishnu. In Her four hands, the deity of Mahalakshmi holds objects of symbolic value. The lower right hand holds a matulinga (a citrus fruit), in the upper right, a large mace (kaumodaki) with its head touching the ground, in the upper left a shield (khetaka), and in the lower left, a bowl (panpatra). Unlike most Hindu sacred images, which face north or east, the image of this deity looks west.
It is believed that the temple was once belonging to Jains in those periods and was worshiped as Goddess Padmavati and images and idols inscribed on the temple walls clearly define that the temple belonged to Jains. Later a story was made that a rakshasa built the temple in one night to overcome his curse.
There is also a belief that Amba Bai or Mahalakshmi is wife of Tirupathi-Tirumala Lord Venkateshwara and so once we visit the Tirupathi Venkateshwara temple for the first time, we need to take the darshan of Goddess Mahalaxmi of Kolhapur. The other wife of Lord Venkateshwar is Goddess Padmavati.
