One of Hyderabad's oldest surviving temples, dated to about 1198 CE and attributed to the Kakatiya king Prola II, where Hanuman is worshipped in a seated meditative form. The complex also holds shrines to Rama, Shiva, Saraswati, Durga, Krishna and Jagannath.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The king is said to have found a stone image of Hanuman while out hunting, and to have built the temple after the god appeared in his dream that night and asked for one.
