Sunday story: Language of faith - An Ayodhya connect

Deccan Chronicle  

Ballari: Winds of change are sweeping through the ancient shrines of the Vijayanagar empire in the world heritage site of Hampi and nearby Anegundi. The Anjanadri Hill in Anegundi, it is widely believed is where Sugriva and Vali's adopted sister, Anjana, gave birth to Lord Hanuman, in a cave on top of the hill. Local tourist guides say this is happening because Hampi-Anegundi has been included among top holy pilgrimage centres by package tour organisers in the last one decade owing to its connection with Lord Rama and Hanuman. "But, 10-15 years ago, sadhus started arriving from Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura and other holy centres in the North and settled down in these abandoned shrines reviving the rituals", said Virupaksha, a resident of Kamalapur village near Hampi. "Jashodaben, Mr Modi's wife, and his brother, Pankaj Modi, had visited Anjanadri Hill some time ago", said Ramanna, a vendor in Anegundi.
