[1] The Jatara begins at Kothakonda Village in Bheemadevarpalle mandal of Karimnagar district.
It is known for the famous temple dedicated to Sri Veerabhadra Swamy (an incarnation of Lord Siva).
Former Prime Minister Mr. P.V Narasimha Rao headed this cooperative society early in his life.
The rocky hill adjoining the village has ruins of a big fort with huge gateways bearing beautiful architecture, resembling that of the Kakatiyas.
The three-day Kothakonda Jatara celebrated in January every year attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over the Telangana region.
