Sri Kanakamahalakshmi Temple
The locality where the idol was found is called "Burujupeta" since it was near "Buruju" of the "Fort" of the then Rajas. According to local story, in the year 1912, the Idol of Goddess Sri Kanaka Maha Lakshmi Ammavaru was taken out from the well and it was installed at the center of the road i.e., amidst the Municipal lane. The Municipal authorities, for the purpose of widening the road, have shifted the Idol from amidst the road to a corner of the road. During which period i.e., in the year 1917 the dangerous contagious disease 'Plague' spread over the town and so many deaths occurred in Visakhapatnam village.
