Main Deity and Form
Sri Anjaneya Swamy is worshipped as a Swayambhu, self-manifested form in a standing posture.
Idol dimensions and material
Exact idol height, width, depth and material are under verification.
Meaning of the Temple Name

Sacred Tradition
Temple tradition says that a local cowherd named Singam Sanjeevudu lost one of his animals while grazing cattle in the Kondagattu forest.
After becoming tired during the search, he rested and dreamt that Lord Anjaneya revealed both the animal’s location and the Lord’s presence as a sacred idol.
The tradition continues that Sanjeevudu followed the guidance, found the animal near the indicated place and discovered the Swayambhu idol. Villagers then supported a small shrine that later developed into the present temple.
This narrative is presented as the temple’s sacred tradition rather than independently dated history.
