History behind the name of temple is as fantasizing as Hanuman Leelas. It is believed that a big heap of Ragi (a food grain) turned out to become a stone, hence the name “Ragigudda”.
At the time of incidence Lord Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara (the Trimurties) who visited the place, wished to stay there permanently changing themselves into 3 big stones pillars. Their presence here stands as a witness to all the developments so far and for the future developments.
