HISTORY OF MAHANKALI TEMPLE-SECUNDERABAD..



The temple was constructed in the year 1815 by Sri Suriti appaiah,a Doli bearer.
In the year 1813 sri suriti appaiah transferred to ujjaini.At that time Cholera broke out in a virulent firm, and thousands of people died.Then sri suriti appaiah went to Mahankali temple at ujjaini and prayed that if the people are saved from those diseases ,they would install the idol at secunderabad.
Accordingly he constructed a small temple and installed wooden idol of Mahankali in 1815 at secunderabad.
During construction they have found a stone idol named as MANIKYALAMMA. and the same they have installed beside MAHANKALI amma idol.
In the year 1864 A.D Shri Appaiah garu replaced wooden idol and installed the two idols of “Mahankali” and “Mnikyalamma” as per the Hindu sastras and relevant pujas.
The family members of shri appaiah garu made several developments to temple during their tenure.
