History & tradition
Namakkal Anjaneyar Temple is in the town of Namakkal in Tamil Nadu and is dedicated to Hanuman. The image of Anjaneyar is about 18 feet (5.5 metres) tall, among the tallest images of Hanuman in India. The temple’s legend tells of Narasimha, the avatar of Vishnu, appearing here for Hanuman and Lakshmi. Built in the Tamil style, with a pillared hall leading to the sanctum, the temple follows the Vaikhanasa tradition. The fifteen-day Panguni Uthiram festival in March–April is its main celebration.
