Religious Significance
Sri Anjaneya is the only person who visited Lanka thrice. The first was on a mission searching Mother Sita. He met Her in the Ashoka Garden of Ravana in his land, identified Himself with the Kanayazhi – the wedding ring She gave to Sri Rama and received Her Choodamani to prove to Rama that he had met His consort. In this first visit, He also played the role of a wise diplomat to pursue Ravana to hand Her over to Sri Rama with all honour. As the Lanka King was unrelenting, He showed His might by setting ablaze his city. The second was the march of the army, building of the Sethu bridge and reaching Lanka with Lord. The third was his departure from Lanka and return with the Sanjeevi Mount through the air route. The Rama-Ravana war lasted for 7 days according to Sage Valmiki’s epic. Many of the famous commanders of Ravana and his brothers laid their lives for him in the war. Ravana was shaken. Yet, his son Inderjit promised that he would rebuild the glory of the kingdom by defeating Rama with his martial prowess backed by magic warfare. He made Lakshmana fall with his arrow applied with serpent Mantra. Yet, as the incarnation of Aadhisesha, Lakshmana fell only fainted by the power of Indrajit’s Nagasthra. A herbal remedy was necessary to restore him back to consciousness. That herbal was available only in the Sanjeevi Parvatha. Hanuman set out with all his might and returned with the mount itself and Lakshmana awoke sooner the very smell of the herbal touched him. On his way back, Hanuman just got down to perform his Sandhyavandhana, the evening prayers. That place was Pudupakkam where Sri Veera Anjaneya temple exists on the Gajagiri hills.
History
The temple is 500 years old. Some of the saints visited this temple namely Madhwa Saint and Sri Vyasatirtha.
