Where the goddess of food and nourishment resides

In the heart of Indore stands the hallowed Maa Annapurna Temple, a sanctuary that pays homage to the goddess of food and nourishment, a manifestation of the revered Goddess Parvati herself.

Offering nourishment has been a sacred rite in Hinduism since ancient times, and this temple stands as an embodiment of that profound tradition. Its origins trace back to the 9th century when it was first constructed. However, Mahamandaleshwar Swami Prabanandagirimharaj renovated this sacred sanctuary in 1959, for the sake of devotional grandeur.

As one approaches the shrine, the majestic entrance that was erected in 1975 is supported by four regal elephants. The temple's vast expanse, spanning two acres, is a beautiful sight, and is architecturally reminiscent of the renowned Meenakshi Temple of Madurai. The outer walls are decorated with images of gods and their legendary tales, inviting you to learn about the rich Hindu mythology.

Let’s take a tour

This southern Indian temple seamlessly blends the Indo-Aryan and Dravidian styles, its towering spires soaring over 100 feet into the sky.

As you traverse the threshold you will see exquisite marble carvings, with the celestial forms of Maa Annapurna, Maa Kali, and Maa Saraswati carved from pristine white marble. You will also see a beautiful idol of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha Rani in the temple. Their serene countenances and the positive aura of the sanctuary invites deep reverence and contemplation.

Marvel at the intricate handiwork of Rajasthani craftsmen, whose skilled hands have adorned the pillars with exquisite sculptures depicting many Hindu gods and goddesses, and spot the 64 Yogini statues etched into the pillars, a reminder of the sacred path of enlightenment.

The temple's walls and pillars are adorned with exquisite carvings and designs, each a masterpiece in its own right.
