Do you see Lord Hanuman’s face in the stone? 🙏
Beyond the resemblance lies the story of Anjanadri Hill near Anegundi, Karnataka traditionally revered as Lord Hanuman’s birthplace. The hill takes its name from Anjana Devi, his mother.
Across the Tungabhadra River from Hampi, this region is associated in local tradition with Kishkindha, the kingdom of Sugriva described in the Ramayana. That connection gives the surrounding hills and river landscape a significance beyond their striking appearance.
At the summit stands a Hanuman temple described by the Koppal district administration as belonging to the Vijayanagara era. A winding stairway leads upward through the boulders, opening onto panoramic views of the Tungabhadra River, green fields and the landscape around Hampi.
A place where natural beauty, sacred tradition and regional history come together.
