The shrines that draw pilgrims here
The architecturally brilliant Annapurna Temple is a popular religious site in Indore, dedicated to Annapurna – the Goddess of Food. Besides the main shrine, the complex also has temples of Lord Shiva, Hanuman and Kala Bhairav that are equally revered. This place of worship is said to resemble the popular Meenakshi Temple at Madurai .
Built by Sri Dadhich in 1875, Bada Ganapati Temple is a well-known shrine in the city and its neighbouring regions. This holy site has been aptly named as it has the world’s largest idol of Lord Ganesha – the God of Happiness and Prosperity, measuring 25 ft. from foot to crown. Another interesting aspect of the orange-coloured Ganapati idol installed at this temple is its configuration.
Shree Khajrana Ganesh Temple is one of the most visited temples in Indore. It is believed that all wishes get fulfilled by praying here, and locals especially have immense faith in this temple. As per legend, the idol of Lord Ganesha installed here was hidden in a well to protect it from the tyrant Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. After the idol was retrieved in 1735, this temple was built by Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar and thereafter, numerous additions were done by others over time.
Bijasen Tekri, one of the renowned places of worship in Indore, is a humble abode of Bijasen Mata, who is considered to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga. It is believed that the power of the presiding deity here can even bring back the eyesight of the blind. Built in 1920, this temple stands on the top of an 800 ft. high hill (referred to as Tekri).
Devguradia Shiva Temple is an ancient temple, initially built in the 7 th century from rocks and thereafter, renovated in the 18 th century by Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar. Surrounded by water body on all sides, the temple’s present-day structure stands over a sunken shrine with the original S hivling present 12 ft. under water. There is also a water outlet that resembles a cow’s mouth in shape, thus referred to as Goumukh.
