Akkanna Sarai or Maisaram (Rest House) is situated at the eastern end of Maheswaram village.
This sarai was named after Akkanna, a senior official during the reign of Abdullah Qutb Shah. He and
his brother Madanna came from a learned family of Hanamkunda and it appears that in the past the family was closely associated with the
Golconda rulers.

Madanna served the kingdom with a broad outlook.
He was appointed as peshkar during Qutb Shah’s reign and later promoted to the prestigious post of Dewan (1674-1686). Both Akkanna
and Madanna were killed by conspirators. The Sarai has a vast compound enclosed by colonnades with cubicles and is surrounded by a high
wall.

There is a dilapidated building in the middle and a large tank on the north-east of the Sarai with imposing steps and an island temple
in the middle of the tank.

In the South of the Sarai, there is an old mosque in Qutb Shahi style.
