<br />
The idol of Maisigandi Maisamma is around 20 feet tall, and the [[Gopuram]] is also huge and different from all South Indian temples; it is open at the top. Legend has it that the presiding deity of the temple needs the temple to be open at the top.<ref name=":1" /> The priests of this temple are from the Banjara or [[Lambada]] caste. On weekends, the temple surroundings get a festive look with tourists and devotees, and particularly during [[Bonalu]], and "Jatara" ([[fair]]).<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
The temple is located 66&nbsp;km from [[Hyderabad]] towards [[Srisailam]]. Mahakali is considered a powerful goddess and the locals feel that She fulfills the wishes of devotees. The Maisigandi Maisamma temple is attracting a growing number of devotees and tourists<ref name=":2" /> from all over the world, especially from Hyderabad. Weekend parties take place in the surroundings of temple; people offer "bonam" (food offerings to the goddess) after their wishes are fulfilled.<br />
<br />
In the back side of temple, several temples of [[Rama|Lord Rama]], [[Anjaneya|Lord Anjaneya]], [[Shiva|Lord Shiva]], can also be found. The very large “Koneru” (a stone-faced tank with steps) is also a good place to visit.<br />
