Jayanagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka · 12.9142°, 77.5932°
A Hanuman temple on a rocky knoll in Jayanagar 9th Block, Bengaluru, built in 1969 by a group of local young men and registered as a trust in 1972, and now one of the busiest shrines in south Bengaluru.
The hillock is said to have formed from ragi given as alms by a pious woman named Sudharma to the three great gods in disguise, who afterwards revealed themselves and turned to stone nearby, the three stones now bearing their carved figures.
