The Ashtalakshmi Temple, located in Besant Nagar, Chennai, India, is a renowned spiritual destination dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi and her eight primary forms, symbolizing different aspects of wealth. Uniquely characterized by its multi-level architecture, this modern temple was built in 1976 and exhibits a blend of Dravidian and modern styles. The temple is spread across 4 levels, with separate sanctums for each form of the deity, each elaborately adorned to represent that particular aspect of Lakshmi.
