Temple tank where one can not see the others taking bath in the opposite bank,

While the corridors are on par with outside temperature,one room is cooler,where there is no window or the ceiling higher than the other places in the temple.

Musical pillars,

I can keep on adding.

Where Hanuman Was Born Anjani Hills Hampi

This hill believed to be the birthplace of Hanuman is located in the center of Anegondi area. You can see this hill from the Hampi side of the river as you trek along the Kampa Bhups’s (the riverside trek) Path.

* There is a cotroversy on this.Hanuman is reported to have been born near Nasik,Anjeri.

At the top of the hill is the temple dedicated for Hanuman, the monkey god.

The temple door is always kept closed (to prevent the cheeky monkeys enter inside, though it’s their General’s temple!). All are allowed inside. Just keep in mind the basic etiquettes needed in a prayer area, if you are new to a Hindu temple. The priest may offer holy water and the vermilion colored powder Hindus wear on their forehead.
