The temple complex also houses other deities viz.Rama,Shiva,Saraswati,Durga,Santoshimata,Venugopala, andJagannath.

It was built in c. 1198 CE. When theKakatiya king Prola II went hunting and was resting under a tree, he heard the chanting of the godRama's name. Looking for the source of the voice, he discovered a stone idol of the godHanuman, in seated posture as the source. Having paid his respects, he returned to his capital, and that night, Hanuman is said to have appeared in his dream and asked him to construct a temple.[2]
The temple is very popular among devotees in Hyderabad. The devotees offer prayers and perform religious rituals for Hanuman at the temple on Tuesdays and Saturdays. On the auspicious day ofHanuman Jayanti (Hanuman's birthday), devotees visit the temple in large numbers to offer special pooja to the god. The temple management provides "annadanam" (free meal) to limited people on a daily basis.
