About Kengal Hanuman Temple
The Kengal Hanuman Temple is a popular spiritual destination for Hanuman devotees from Bangalore. The temple features a large Hanuman idol in an open-air setting surrounded by coconut groves and farmland. The peaceful rural atmosphere provides a stark contrast to Bangalore's urban density. Saturdays and Hanuman Jayanti see the largest crowds. The temple is managed by a local trust that has developed basic amenities for visitors. The drive through the rural Ramanagara-Kanakapura road offers scenic views of granite boulders and silk-cotton trees.
