Built in 1907, the then Prime Minister of Nizam government Maharaja Kishan Prasad was instrumental in introducing the Bonalu festival in the temple here. The secular ruler to Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Mahbub Ali Khan was kind enough to give donations and lands to this and many other temples. Bonala Jathara ( meaning procession ) at Lal darwaza is tagged as the most important and biggest cultural festival in Telangana.
