Legend & History

According to local legend, about 300 years ago a farmer named Singam Sanjeevudu, after losing one of his buffaloes, came to this hillock searching for it and slept here. Lord Anjaneya came into his dream and told him the whereabouts of his buffalo. As he woke up and looked around the hillock, he found an illuminating idol of Anjaneya.
