Anjanadri hill is a small hillock in Anegundi(small village just 5 kms from Hampi)which is the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. The view from the top of the hill is awesome. The view of Tungabhadra river flowing, paddy and plantain trees all over. It is a very scenic and breezy place . All the Hampi river side ruins can be viewed from top. There are 575 steps to reach the temple.The steps are though uneven it’s well protected as there are lots of monkeys .One should plan to climb either in the early morning or in the evenings before 6 pm ( closing time of the temple is 7 pm ) On top of the hill is a small gopuram with an Anjineyar , Anjanadevi (mother of Lord Hanuman) , Lord Ram and Lakshman with Seethadevi temples are there.
