Balkampet Yellamma temple, Hindu temple in Balkampet, India
The Balkampet Yellamma Temple features South Indian architecture with carved sculptures and a main shrine positioned ten feet below ground level.
The temple originated in the 15th century when workers discovered a rock with a goddess sculpture during a well excavation project.
The temple celebrates two major annual festivals, Ammavvari Kalyanam and Bonalu, drawing large numbers of devotees for traditional ceremonies.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with parking facilities and restrooms available for visitors.
The primary deity statue remains partially submerged in water, leading to the name Jala Durga, meaning water goddess in Sanskrit.
