The young man, Ajeya from Vijayanagara district, made the climb on Friday evening despite the scorching heat. He carried his grandmother, taking breaks under trees along the way. Whenever she felt thirsty, he gave her water. After the darshan of Lord Anjaneyaswamy, the grandmother expressed her gratitude, saying, “I feel blessed.”

Anjanadri Hill

Many elderly devotees from different states come here. But they are often unable to climb the steps and have to offer their prayers from a distance. Because of this, other devotees are urging the government to build a ropeway to the hill soon.
