Kishkindha Temple

Kishkindha Temple :

The town of Anegundi, about 5 km from Hampi, is situated on the north bank of the Tungabhadra River. Local people believe that this is the ancient place known as Kishkindha, where lord Rama met Sugriva and Hanuman.

 Also by Hampi is the Risimukha Mountain, which is mentioned in the Ramayana.


The ancient place, Kishkindha, was ruled by the monkey-chiefs-two brothers, Sugriva and Vaii.

 After a quarrel with Vali, Sugriva along with Hanuman were driven out.

 They then went to stay at Matanga-parvata Hill. You can get a good view of the surrounding area from the top of this hill.

While searching for Sita, who had been kidnapped by Ravana, Rama and Laksman came south and met; Sugriva and Hanuman. Rama killed Vali and restored the kingdom to Sugriva.

While Hanuman went to search for Sita,, it is said that Rama stayed at Malyavanta Hill, which is on the road to Kampili about 6 km east of the Virupakshi,Temple.
