Ragigudda Anjaneya Temple in Bangalore is a beloved shrine dedicated to Anjaneya (Hanuman), who is worshipped here as the supreme devotee of Lord Rama — the Bhaktha of Bhathas. The temple is particularly popular among those seeking blessings for health, wealth, happiness, success and fulfilment of desires.
The Name — Ragigudda
The name Ragigudda is connected to a traditional account: it is believed that a large heap of ragi (finger millet, a locally cultivated grain) at this spot turned into stone, giving the place its name. This is a traditional/religious account.
The Three Stone Pillars — The Trimurtis
According to temple tradition, the Trimurtis — Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara — visited this place and chose to remain permanently, transforming into three large stone pillars. These three pillars are said to stand as witnesses to all that has happened and will happen here. This is a traditional/religious account.
