Legend
According to the legends, on his way to Lanka, Lord Rama promised Vayudeva (god of Wind), father of Anjaneya to visit him again on his return journey to Ayodhya. To welcome Lord Rama, Vayudeva tied across the river from one top of the hill to the other. Lord Rama drew a picture of Anajaneya on a rock with the end of his bow before leaving the place. The image has no little finger. While doing the picture, blood began to flow from the image and Lord Rama stopped there. The image was installed by Vyasarisshi. The image at the feet of lord Anjaneya is that of Udgavi Acharyulu or Gandi Acharyulu. It is Udgavi Acharyulu who first constructed the sanctum sanctorum and brought the temple to the notice of the public. He has inscribed his name on the rock by the side of Anjaneya as vasantacharyulu.
