Mahalaxmi Jagdamba Temple Koradi

Dedicated to Goddess Shakti, this living heritage temple is deeply rooted in the region’s spiritual traditions, with its origins associated with King Jholan and the Malsum/Bhosale heritage, and is believed to be at least 350 years old.

The temple welcomes devotees daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering a serene environment for darshan and worship. Free darshan is available for all visitors, making it accessible to pilgrims from various walks of life.

The best times to visit are during the early morning hours (5–8 AM), evening aarti, the winter months from November to February, and the vibrant festival seasons.

Major festivals celebrated here include Sharad Navratri (September–October), Chaitra Navratri (March–April), Diwali (October–November), and Mahashivratri (February–March), drawing large gatherings of devotees.

The temple conducts a variety of poojas and rituals, including the Akhand Manokamna Jyot, daily aarti and abhishek, and the Maha Bhojan Daan (Annadanam Sponsorship) available for one day, seven days, or one month.

Poojas are performed in Marathi and Sanskrit, preserving the traditional liturgical practices. Annachatra Prasadalaya within the premises serves Maha Prasad meals for a nominal token fee, and daily free food charities (Bhojan Daan) are organized, with standard prasad distributed after aartis.

Visitors are expected to adhere to a traditional dress code: men should wear dhotis, kurtas, or full-length trousers and shirts, while women are encouraged to wear sarees, salwar kameez, or traditional kurtis, ensuring modest and non-revealing attire.
