More ancient than Hampi , Anegundi lies in the mythical kingdom of Kishkinda , ruled by the monkey king Sugriva of Ramayana . Anjanadri Hill near Anegundi is believed to be the birth place of the monkey god Hanuman . Anegundi and its tranquil environs are dotted with forgotten temples and fortifications . The dilapidated Huchappa Matha Temple , near the river is worth a peek for its black stone lathe- turnd pillars and fine panels of dancers . The other places of tourist interest are the sacred Pampa Sarovara , Aramena and Ranganatha Temple .

The cluster of sites is known as the ‘Sanganakallu-Kupgal Archaeological Heritage Area’, due to the remarkable concentration of archaeological sites in the area of these two villages (Sanganakallu and Kupgal). The area appears to have been particularly important during the Neolithic period, when settlement was focused on the granitic hills themselves. It is currently under excavation.
