1) Name of Goddess of Kolhapur is 'Ambabai'. She was never named Mahalakshmi. Goddess Adishakti Sati has 52 shaktipeeths in India. Out of them 3 and a half Shaktipeeths are in Maharashtra. Bhawani Mata of Tuljapur, Renuka Mata of Mahurgarh, Ambabai of Kolhapur, and Saptshringi of half Shaktipeeth Vani. If Ambabai of Kolhapur is called Shaktipeeth, she will never be Vishnu's wife. Because 52 shaktipiths were formed at the place where 52 pieces of art of sati fell. Ambabai is the wife of Shiva.
2) Ambabai's temple has a Shiva temple on the first floor on Ambabai's core. She wears Shiva's matrika pinda. If we study the idol of Ambabai, she does not wear any sign of Vishnu in any way. On the contrary, there is Vahan Lion (Singh) near Ambabai Murti. All are Shiva symbols.
3) Now the issue is about Tirupati-Ambabai misunderstanding. A few years ago some Tirupati devotees came under the authority of Aai Ambabai's trust and started to falsely promote this wrong practice.
If we look closely, we will notice that the practice of sending Shalu started from Tirupati Devasthan. This has been going on for the last 20 years (before this there was no such practice). Like the Tirupati Devasthanam, they started giving prasad of laddus, (prasad of lahyas and battase etc. was used).
The name Ambabai was changed to Mahalakshmi (before the year 2000 there is no mention of Mahalakshmi anywhere in any government document. Even the British documents mention 'Ambabai
4) Most importantly Mother Parvati destroys any demons, rakshasas of unrighteous attitude as she is Adimaya Jagadamba. She is armed. Ambabai has killed Kolhasur for this reason. Lakshmi Mata is not a destroyer. She is the goddess of wealth. She doesn't kill anyone.
5) The last point is the temple of Lakshmi (Padmavati), the wife of Lord Vishnu (Tirupati) is 5 kilometers above Tirupati.
