After the Darshan, we took the break for the morning session as my Niece had to return back to her home for her other important activities for the day. Though i wanted to go for more temple visits after the morning breakfast at around 10:30am, I had to cancel my session as there was slight drizzling.

Finally in the evening, My sister accompanied me again & this time we visited the famous Kanaka Mahalakshmi Temple in Visakhapatnam which has no roof on top of the statue of the Deity.

A 5.5ft Marble Statue of Sai Baba at Bhairagi Matham Sanctum, 1 Town was nearby to the temple of Kanaka Mahalakshmi & we ended our day 2 of Pilgrimage by visiting the Sanctum of Sai Baba at Bhairagi Matham. More on this temple in the Next Article.
