Anjaneya Swami Temple

The story of Anjaneya Swami Temple

This is an Anjaneya temple, a shrine for Hanuman, who is also called Maruti, Bajrangabali, and Anjaneya in Hindu tradition. The specific temple you are standing at has no account of its own, so the safest way to place it is through the wider Anjaneya shrine tradition in Bengaluru.

Britannica and other published pages on better-known Anjaneya temples in the city show how varied these shrines can be. One page describes the Yelahanka Gate Anjaneya Temple on Avenue Road as an ancient temple built by Kempegowda in the 1680s. Another describes the Ragigudda Anjaneya Temple in Jayanagara 9th Block, formed in 1969 and registered in 1972, with a hillock at its heart. A further page describes the Shri Gali Anjaneya Swami Temple as a 600-year-old Hanuman temple in Bengaluru, constructed in 1425 and linked to Shri Vyasaraya.

What matters on the ground is that Anjaneya temples are places of worship and daily devotion, and some are busy with people seeking blessings, especially on Saturdays. If you are looking for the details to notice here, focus on the sanctum image of Hanuman and on any signs, names, or local notices that identify which local Anjaneya shrine this is within Bengaluru’s temple landscape.
