Gurvaigudem, Jangareddygudem, Andhra Pradesh · 17.0879°, 81.2708°
A Hanuman shrine near Jangareddygudem in West Godavari district where the deity is held to be self-manifest in a sacred tree rather than housed in a conventional sanctum, so no arch surrounds it.
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 temple's tradition tells of a demon named Madhvasura who, reborn across ages as a devotee, was saved from a lake by a monkey he recognised as Hanuman, and asked to be reborn as the tree in which the god would remain forever present.
