Peddagattu (పెద్దగట్టు జాతర )or Gollagattu Jathara (గొల్లగట్టు జాతర) is the festival celebrated on the name of Lord Lingamanthulu Swamy and Goddess Choudamma for every 2 years. The presiding deities, Sri Lingamanthula Swamy, believed an Incarnation of Lord Shiva, and his sister – Choudamma, are offered various pujas during the five-day fete. Peddagattu (Gollagattu) is the second biggest religious congregation or Jathara in the state of Telangana after Sammakka Saralamma Jatara in Warangal. Though primarily the Yadava community takes part in huge numbers, people from all castes and religions from across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra, Odisha, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu come to the place located just 5-km. from Suryapet.The festival is protected by police and assisted by volunteers during 3-day period.[1][2]
