Kote Anjaneya

Kote Anjaneya is a Hindu temple in Tumkur with a 75-foot tall cement statue of Hanuman at its entrance that serves as the main focal point. The temple includes dedicated prayer spaces and facilities for drinking water and ritual washing.

The temple was founded by Sri Vyasaraja, who served as Rajaguru of the Vijayanagar empire and undertook a mission to consecrate 732 Hanuman idols. This site was part of a broader effort to spread religious devotion across the region.

This place serves as a community gathering point where daily worship brings people together throughout the day. The space is designed to accommodate both individual prayer and collective religious practices.

The site is easily accessible through Tumkur's transportation network and provides drinking water and facilities for ritual preparation before prayer. It helps to wear comfortable clothing and to observe local customs when entering prayer areas.

The site draws followers from different faith traditions, including Muslim visitors who participate in special ceremonies during new moon nights. On these occasions, pilgrims receive talismans that are said to be charged with mantras.
