[3] Gori Kothapally village boasts a rich history that dates back to the 1860s when it was established by Mohammed Immam Ghori,[4] the feudal monarch (Dora) of the erstwhile Hyderabad state in British India.
Mohammed Immam Ghori played a pivotal role in planning the village's layout and designing route maps for the surrounding areas.
One of his notable contributions was the construction of lakes and wells in all four directions of the village, which continue to serve as vital sources of irrigation for the region.
He encouraged people to settle in the village, providing them with livelihood opportunities and thus further enriching the area's prosperity.
Remarkably, he planted mango groves on both sides of the roads leading to the village in all four directions, transforming previously infertile land into fertile grounds suitable for cultivation.
Gori Kothapally is located at coordinates 18°10'54.9"N 79°48'31.0"E,[5] with an average elevation of 251 meters above sea level.
Almost every member of the village who resides in different places for work makes an effort to attend the festival, as it provides a valuable opportunity for individuals to spend time with their families.
During Muharram, numerous temporary stalls are set up, selling items ranging from bangles to various emporium-related goods for ladies, as well as kid's toys.
