Uniqueness of Sanjeevaraya

Vontimitta, 27 March 2018: Lord Hanuman is worshipped vontimitta as Sri Sanjevaraya Swamy. Hanuman temple is located opposite to main entrance of the Kodanda Rama temple. There is no murti of Hanuman in the sanctum sanctorum of the main temple. This is very rare because in all Sri Rama temples, Hanuman is present near his feet.

This is because Lord Sri Rama visited this area when he was in exile along with Sita and Lakshmana. It is during the period when Lord Hanuman did not meet Lord Sri Rama.

But as Lord Sri Rama is incomplete without Lord Anjaneya, the latter settled as Sanjeevaraya outside main temple
