Named the Jubilee Hills Pedamma temple, this is one of the biggest shrines dedicated to local goddesses. However, the goddess seems to be a variant of Durga. Pedamma in Telugu means aunt or mother. The temples architecture is akin to an orthodox Hindu temple. Taken over by the Endowments Department, the shrine has massive security and photography is strictly prohibited within its premises.
