Mahalaxmi Devashtan Pomendi

The Shri Mahalaxmi Temple is approximately 500 to 600 years old. The original structure had walls that were 5 to 6 feet wide, topped with a sloping roof. The idols in the temple were made of black stone. These idols were restored with the help of Dinesh Prabhu, and new idols were installed in the temple in 1998. In 2013, with the assistance of Sudhakar Surve, the temple underwent further restoration, and a new structure was built.

The temple primarily celebrates the Navratri and Shimga festivals with great enthusiasm.
