Religious Significance

Aurangzeb had ordered his armies to each and every corner of the country to destroy all Hindus temples. At this temple, Aurangazeb’s mighty armies could not even enter near the compound wall. After hearning this, Aurangzeb, himself went there to wipe out the temple with a crow bar in his hand. When he reached the temple premises, he heard a deafening roar rumbling and the instrument slipped from his hands as fear overwhelmed him. Then he heard a thundering voice from the heavens saying "Mandir todna hai raja, to kar maan ghat” which means, oh king, if you want to destroy this temple, then make your heart strong. The place got its name kar-man-ghat, after the voice from the heavens. And to this day, the main deity Lord Anjaneya sits in the temple peacefully meditating and bestows his blessing to his devotees, as Dhyana Anjaneya Swamy. Kharmanghat Hanuman temple has a glorious history in the past and the Lord Hanuman himself saved the temple from being plundered or destroyed by the Emperor Aurangzeb of the Mughal Empire in 1679.

History

Acording to the legend, when a Kakatiya ruler who was hunting after some time in the forest, felt tired and sat down to take rest under a tree while resting king heard someone chanting the name of Lord Rama, the king got interested and went around trying to find who it was and as he walked further deep into the forest, he discovered an idol of Lord Hanuman. The stone idol was in a sitting posture and the voice was coming from within the vigraham. Having paid his respects, the humble king returned to his capital, and that very night, Lord Hanuman appeared in his dream and asked the king to construct a temple. This temple was built in 12th century A.D. by Kakatiya ruler Prataparudra-II. About 3 years back, the temple was renovated and a grand 'gopuram' was constructed and Kakatiya dynasty is the contributors of this temple.
