A Hindu temple honoring Kanaka Durga is known as Sri Kanaka Durgamma Devasthanam or Kanaka Durga Temple. The god in this temple is also known as Kanaka Durga in popular culture. The temple is situated on the Indrakeeladri Hills by the Krishna River in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The Kanaka Durga on the Indrakeelaadri is mentioned in the Kaalika Purana, Durgaa Sapthashati, and other works of Vedic literature. The deity is characterized as Swayambhu, (self-manifested) in Triteeya Kalpa.
About Goddess
According to a well-known mythology, Kanaka Durga defeated the demonic King Mahishasura. It is stated that the locals found the demon threat to be intolerable. After performing extreme penance, Sage Indrakila begged the goddess to reside on his head and maintain watch over the evil demons when she first appeared. Durga established Indrakila as her permanent home in order to fulfill his request to slay the demons. Later, she also defeated Mahishasura, the demon king, liberating the Vijayawadans from evil.
The stunning 4-foot (1.2 m) tall (1.2 m) deity icon is decorated with sparkling decorations and vibrant flowers at the Kanakadurga temple. Her eight-armed form is shown in this image standing over the monster Mahishashura while brandishing her trident, each arm holding a potent weapon. The goddess personifies beauty at its finest.
