The Hanuman Idol


History:

Legend is that the place was ruled by Shri MR Apparao, a nomadic jamindar. His father, Sri Meka Venkatadri Bahadur, established the statue of Lord Anjaneya in 1938.

Meka Venkatadri came to the junction of Bahadur Hanuman junction with a tremendous appetite for food. The place was full of shrubs, bends, thorns and bushes. Suddenly a monkey came and put a banana in Zamindar's hand and disappeared.

Sensing that the Anjaneya Swami had come in the form of a monkey and handed him a banana, the statue of Sri Anjaneya Swamy, who was in a state of devotion, was supposed to be installed there.

The statue was erected by Lord Anjaneya Swamy to protect the devotees from the clutches of evil spirits and set up the Hanuman Junction, a four-lane junction. While in Ramayan when Sri Rama Swami is in the Dandakaranyam, Anjaneyaswamy came and offered the banana fruit to Swami. they built a statue of Anjaneya Swami representing "offering bannas to rama" in this junction and the roadside road opposite the Anjaneyaswamy temple.
