'''Odela''' is a village in Odela mandal of Peddapalli district of the Indian state of Telangana.
== History == Once upon a time in a dense forest a sage called Sri Pankaj Maha Muni lived and he used to offer prayers to the Shiva Lingam every night. There are inscriptions on the temple pillar which substantiates the story. As the time rolled by, the sage died and the Shiva Lingam that he worshipped was covered under the nests of ants. Some years later, a farmer by name Chinthakunta Odelu was tilling his land. His plough suddenly struck the Shivalingam. He took it out and constructed a temple around it.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date= |title=Peddapalli district information |url=http://www.peddapalli.telangana.gov.in/content.php?U=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907065240/http://peddapalli.telangana.gov.in/content.php?U=1 |archive-date=7 September 2017 |access-date=11 Dec 2019 |website=Telangana Government }}</ref> People of this village are mostly farmers, mainly cultivating paddy, corn and cotton.
