Akkanna Madanna Temple, Hindu temple at Shah-Ali-Banda, Hyderabad, India.

The Akkanna Madanna Temple is a Mahakali shrine in Shah-Ali-Banda, Old City, Hyderabad, about one kilometre from Charminar. Its pillars, walls and ceiling carry carvings and inscriptions of gods and goddesses with their stories, and the main tower bears images of major and minor deities. Several small temples stand within the premises. During Bonalu the entrance is a temporary facade of yellow and purple panels hung with pink, yellow and white garlands, with a blue-skinned deity holding a trident and drum at the top.

The temple was founded in the 17th century by two brothers who served as ministers in the Golconda court and performed prayers each morning before attending to royal duties. After a long period of decline, the site was revived and has since resumed its role as a place of worship for the community.

The temple is known for the Ghatam procession during Bonalu, the festival celebrated in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Devotees of Mahakali come daily to perform poojas and archanas following Vedic rules, and the temple draws crowds especially during the Bonalu celebrations.

The temple stands in Shah-Ali-Banda in the Old City, about one kilometre from the Charminar. It is an active place of worship, so visitors should expect daily pooja and archana rites and dress modestly. The Bonalu Ghatam procession draws large crowds, so plan around festival days if you want a quieter visit.

The temple stood closed for over sixty-seven years after Akkanna and Madanna were killed, then was revived from the debris of Hari Bowli at Shah Ali Banda. Before that, few people in the Old City knew it existed. In 1998 a mob led by AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi attacked the temple and partly destroyed the idol and its belongings.
