Shri. Dr. M. Satyanarayan Shastriji
(Founder and Administrator of Devasthanam)
Marakatha Sri Lakshmi Ganapathi Devasthanam, located in Kanajiguda, Secunderabad, is a sacred temple dedicated to the rare and powerful emerald idol of Sri Lakshmi Ganapati Swamy. The divine Marakata (emerald) form is known to bestow wisdom, prosperity, clarity, and spiritual upliftment. Founded under the divine vision received by Dr. M. Satyanarayana Shastri, the temple stands on the ancient site of a historic stepwell where Sri Mahalakshmi once resided. Consecrated in 2016, the temple continues the rich tradition of Vedic rituals including Abhishekam, Homam, Suprabhata Seva, and Archana. Devotees experience deep peace and fulfillment through His darshan, and the unique practice of performing 16 Pradakshinas is believed to grant wishes and bring divineΒ blessings.
