Sree Sampath Vinayagar Temple
Sree Sampath Vinayagar Temple, located in Asilmetta, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Established in 1962 by T.S. Rajeshwaran and T.S. Selvaganesan, the temple later came under the administration of the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Department.
It is one of the most visited temples in Visakhapatnam, attracting devotees who seek blessings for new ventures, academic success, and prosperity. The temple is particularly famous for its black marble idol of Lord Vinayaka, which is believed to bring good fortune to worshippers.
A unique tradition followed here is the vehicle pooja, where devotees bring their newly purchased vehicles to be blessed before using them. The temple gained widespread recognition in 1971 when Admiral Krishnan, then in charge of the Eastern Naval Command, reportedly broke 1001 coconuts in front of Lord Ganesha to seek divine intervention during the Indo-Pakistani War, an event that strengthened the faith of the local community.
