Peddintlamma Temple, Kolletikota

Peddintlamma Temple sits on the shores of Kolleru Lake and holds two revered deities within its central sanctuary chamber. The structure displays traditional stone architecture with a nine-foot-tall idol of the main goddess positioned at its heart.

A general of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty built this temple in the 13th century under the rule of King Narasingha Deva I. This period marked a flourishing time for temple construction across the Andhra Pradesh region.

The temple conducts an annual festival from Palguna Suddha Padyami to Pournami, ending with a marriage ceremony between deities Jaladurga and Gokarneswara Swamy.

The site is easily reached by road from Vijayawada and has direct vehicular access to the temple grounds. It is best visited in early morning hours to enjoy better light and a quieter environment.

Two distinct goddesses share the same inner sanctuary, an uncommon arrangement in temple design. This setup allows visitors to encounter both revered forms of the divine in a single chamber.
