Sri Sampath Vinayagar temple is located in the compound of M/s. S.G. Sambandan & Co., Asilmetta and it was constructed by Late S.G. Sambandan, Late T.S. Selvaganesan and Sri T.S. Rajeswaran with their funds in the year 1962 for their worship and as well as their family members.
During the course of time, Jalaries (Local fishermen) used to offer prayers and perform Deeparadhana every day before going to the market for their daily business.
Five years later the Paramacharya of Kanchi His Holiness Sri Chandrasekharaendra Saraswathi reconsecrated the shrine by placing "Ganapathi Yantram" with his own hands. Sri Sampath Vinayagar temple came into prominence when Admiral Krishnan, incharge of Eastern Naval Command, broke 1001 coconuts before the Lord for saving Vizag from the Pakistani attack when its submarine Ghazi Sank off the coast here.
Thus, Sri Sampath Vinayagar temple has become one of the famous temples in Visakhapatnam City attracting daily a number of devotees. Sri Sampath Vinayagar is a powerful deity in Visakhapatnam.
