History
In 1813 a cholera epidemic struck Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Suriti Appaiah, a doli bearer in a military battalion posted to Ujjain, prayed at the Mahakali temple there and vowed to install the goddess in Secunderabad if the epidemic ended. On returning, he and his associates installed a wooden image of Mahankali in July 1815. A stone image of Manikyalamma was found during construction and installed beside her, and a stone image of Mahankali replaced the wooden one in 1964. The temple is managed by the Telangana Endowments Department, with the founder's family retaining a hereditary role.
