Laxmi Venkatesh

Kerala has a seemingly never-ending row of beautiful and historical temples, sort of representing the tradition of Hinduism boasting millions of Gods and Goddesses within its engulf.

The Sri Laxmi Venkatesh Temple is a famous Hindu temple, which is dedicated to the beautiful images of Laxmi and Lord Venkatesh or Vishnu. The temple is situated at Hosdurg in Kanhangad. Built in December 1989, the temple is thronged by tourists and devotees alike, throughout the year, for its magnificence and mystical value.

The Keralite temple is an amalgam of stonework, woodwork, stuccowork and painting - harmoniously blended into a structure vibrant with traditions of the region. The woodwork here is of great importance, and it gives the essential verve and character to the Kerala temple silhouette.
