Temple Profile
History and Significance
History
- Founded
- c. 12th Century CE
- Founder
- Kakatiya King Prataparudra II
- According to historical records, the temple was founded in the 12th century CE by the Kakatiya ruler Prataparudra II after he rested at this spot and heard the chanting of Lord Rama's name. When the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb sent his forces to demolish the temple in the 17th century, his soldiers were struck down by a divine force, and the Emperor himself reportedly heard a voice telling him to test the temple's strength if he dared, giving the site its name 'Kar-man-ghat' (make your heart strong).
Significance
- The temple is highly revered for its powerful main deity, Dhyana Anjaneya Swamy, who is believed to grant relief from illnesses, mental distress, and negative planetary influences. Its historical survival against Mughal iconoclasm has made it a powerful symbol of resilience and divine protection for the people of Hyderabad. Tuesdays and Saturdays attract tens of thousands of devotees who chant the Hanuman Chalisa in unison.
