History

It was built in c. 1198 CE. When the Kakatiya king Prola II went hunting and was resting under a tree, he heard the chanting of the god Rama's name. Looking for the source of the voice, he discovered a stone idol of the god Hanuman, in seated posture as the source. Having paid his respects, he returned to his capital, and that night, Hanuman is said to have appeared in his dream and asked him to construct a temple.[2]
