Sri Ardhagiri Veeranjaneya Swamy Temple

Sri Ardhagiri Veeranjaneya Swamy Temple has its origin attributed to one of the most important event at Ramayana. It’s the occasion at which Veeranjaneya Swamy carried the Sanjeevana Parvatha to the battle-place to save the life of Sri Lakshmana. This ancient temple is located on the luscious hills of the Aragonda village, Chitoor District. And it is at a 22 KM drive-away distance from the South India’s most famous Ganesha temple from Kanipakam.

The name Ardhagiri came from a myth related to Tretayuga, when Lord Hanuman was transporting Sanjeevani Mountain (mountain that consists of herbs for life), half of the mounatain fell down at this place and hence, the name Ardhagiri. In the local language, it means Half Mountain (Ardhra=half, giri=mountain).
