The story of Balkampet Yellamma Temple

According to the story, Renuka, Raja Renuka’s daughter, married Jamadagni, Satyawati’s son, and had five sons, one of whom was Parashurama. Renuka was unable to perform one of her regular household chores one day. Her husband, Jamadagni, became very angry and asked her to leave the house. Dejected Renuka was advised to perform pujas near a Shivalinga and feed Brahmins as penance by the saints. Jamadagni became even angrier about this, and he then ordered his five sons to punish her. All the sons except Parashurama refused and were burned to ashes by the father’s gaze, while Parashurama went in search of his mother, who was hiding in a village and beheaded her, as well as the poor woman who assisted her. Jamadagni, pleased with his son’s obedience, bestowed a boon upon him, and in return, Parashurama requested his father to return the lives of his brothers, mother, and the village woman. However, Renuka’s and the other woman’s heads and bodies were interchanged. While Jamadagni accepted the woman who had Renuka’s body, the other form with Renuka’s head became popularly known as Yellamma, which means “mother of all,” and has been religiously worshiped by Telangana people since then.

Situated among one of the developing suburbs of the city, Balkampet, the Temple draws crowds on Sundays and Tuesdays in particular.

The Balkampet Yellamma Temple is dedicated to Goddess Yellamma, literally means’ mother of the universe’ and that is exactly how the Goddess is regarded. Thus, the alternative name- Jaggadamba also. She is also believed to be the same as Goddess Renuka by some legends.

The other school of thought associates her closely with Renuka but distinguishes between the two. The story goes like this that Renuka, daughter of Raja Renuka was married to Jamadugni, the son of Satyawati and had five sons, one of which was Parshurama. One day, Renuka failed to perform one of her regular household duties and this angered her husband.

He asked her to flee and the troubled Renuka was advised by saints to perform pujas in front of a Shivalinga and feed Brahmins as part of her penance. Jamadugni remained furious at her and demanded that his sons also punish their mother. All but Parusharama refused. Hence, they were burned to ashes by the gaze of their father.

Parusharama set out with an axe to look for his mother who’d gone hiding in a village. When he found her, he beheaded her and along with her, the poor woman who’d been hiding her. Pleased by his son’s obedience, Jamadugni granted him a boon. Parusharama asked for the lives of his brothers, his mother and the village woman to be restored. But in the process of joining back the bodies and heads of the ladies, the head of Renuka got restored on the other woman’s head and vice versa.

Jamadugni accepted the lady with the body of Renuka and the other form came to be known as Yellamma- mother to all. She was devoutly worshipped by all Telangana people from then. Balkampet Yellamma Goddess is also believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Kali.
