Peddamma Temple
Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana · Goddess Peddamma (Ammavaru) · Devi Temple
A major Jubilee Hills Devi shrine where Bonalu utsavam is held every Sunday, among Hyderabad’s most visited Ammavaru temples.
Peddamma Temple in Jubilee Hills is one of Hyderabad’s most visited Devi shrines, dedicated to Ammavaru in her protective mother aspect. Telangana Tourism notes that while local memory places the shrine on this hillock for roughly 150 years, the present rajagopuram and expanded facilities date from 1993, after which crowds grew rapidly across the twin cities. The temple is especially linked to Bonalu — while the city-wide festival runs in Ashada, this shrine celebrates Bonalu utsavam every Sunday.
History
Official tourism describes Jubilee Hills as once rocky scrub forest before urban growth, with several hillock temples emerging from village worship traditions. Peddamma is revered alongside other Mahankali forms across Hyderabad and Secunderabad, and the site ranks second in city popularity only to Ujjaini Mahankali according to state publicity material.
