The Anjanadri Temple is located on top of the hill 575 Steps Near Anegundi, Gangavathi Taluka, Koppal District - Karnataka Just across the Tungabhadra river is the fortress town of Anegundi, pre-dating the Vijayanagar Empire and its capital city. More ancient than Hampi, Anegundi lies in the mythical kingdom of Kishkinda, ruled by the monkey-king Sugriva of Ramayana fame. Anjanadri hill, near Ane
gundi, is believed to be the birthplace of the monkey-god Hanuman. The Anjanadri Temple is located on top of the hill 572 Steps climb to reach. Anegundi and its tranquil environs are dotted with forgotten temples and fortifications. The dilapidated Huchappayana Matha Temple, near the river, is worth a peek for its black stone lathe-turned pillars and fine panels of dancers. The other places of interest are the sacred Pampa Sarovar, Aramane (a ruined palace) and the Ranganath Temple,
It is said to have one of the oldest plateaus on the planet, estimated to be 3,000 million years old. So, only local story-tellers refer to Anegundi as the maternal home of Bhoodevi (Mother Earth). Neolithic history is represented in this region by Mourya Mane, a several-thousand-year-old ‘Stone Age Colony’. Several Neolithic dwellings still bear paintings that are clear and intact even to this day. “This is the rare human settlement where we will find traces of Microlithic, Megalithic and Neolithic age of human life at one same spot. Anegundi area is much more than the Vijayanagar Empire, and as is old as the planet. Till date, this village is a living heritage site in its true sense Anegundi is best visited along with Hampi. Anegundi, part of the world heritage site, Hampi, is being developed into a world class tourism spot by engaging the localities to sensitize them to their cultural wealth and provide them a means of livelihood
