Bonalu - Darbar Maisamma Temple

Many poets and scholars have hailed 'Darbar Maisamma' to be the supreme power – the omnipotent, the eternal, the bestower of health, wealth and supreme happiness. 'Mother Maisamma' is revered with due respect and devotion.

As the Maisamma temple is situated on the path leading to the Darbar of Sultan of Golkonda, the temple came to be addressed as Darbar Maisamma temple. Much before the rule of Quli Qutb Shahi kings, during the era of Hindu Rajas, the goddess Maheswariamma had manifested herself here and became popular as Maisamma.

She was even worshipped by the well-known Maratha King Chatrapathi Shivaji, the Minister brothers Akkanna, Madanna and Kancherla Gopanna of Bhadrachalam.
