Connections to Ramayana, Hampi

It is believed that Hampi has been a important milestone in the history of ramayana. 

Anegundi, northern side of Tungbhadra river is also called as Kishkinda where Rama defeated Bali to establish Sugriva empire. Also, prepared all strategies to have a war with Ravan.

Anjaneya Hills

On the other side of Tungabhadra river, Anjaneya hill is located in the middle of Anegondi area. It's approximately 4-5 kms from the river. Distance between the Anegundi and Hampi can be covered with Coracles or the motor boats.

Views on the way and after reaching the hill are undoubtably extraordinary. It is said to be the birth place of Hanuman who was born to Anjana and therefore the place is called Anjaneya hills.

To reach top of the hill, approx. 600 steps are to be climbed. There is no shops on the way except at the bottom of the temple so it is advisable to carry some stuff with you like water and food but be careful of the monkeys on the way.



I felt damn tired in climbing the stairs but the magnificent views from the hills made me feel relaxed.

Other Tourist Attractions are:
Pampa Sarover
Sugrive's Cave
Anegundi Fort

The only thing which couldn't convince me is not to figure out exactly how this place is related to the Ramayana because as per my knowledge, Ramayana happened millions of years ago and most of the temples there are only few centuries old.
