200yrs ago, Kadapa was under ruling of Navab’s.  One day Kadapa Navab  got a dream in which Sri Lord Anjaneya Swamy  Appeared  and instructed him  by saying “ I m situated in the nearest cannal, every day people are hitting on my back when they are washing the clothes, please help me out “.

The next day  Navab went to the river side of the cannal and instructed guards to search every rock, soon they found  the Vigraha of  Lord Anjaneya  floating on the water, as said in dream, people were using the Vigraha for  washing clothes.

Soon, Navab  constructed temple for the Lord Anjaneya and  handed over to a Madhwa Brahmin  family  from “PADAKANDLA (village) “ to look after the temple.

Daily Navab was visiting the temple  and surprisingly for him  the  Vigraha appeared to be swinging when Harathi is given out,  i.e the reason   this  Lord Anjaneya  was  called  “Jhool Anjaneya”.  In Hindi  “Jhool” means  swinging.

From then Madhwa Brahmin family of  PADAKANDLA is looking after the temple . Daily Lord Lord Anjaneya offered  POOjas   with  Dhoopa, Deepa and Naivedhya.

Every Year  on  Dasahara , complete 9 days Special Pooja’s are offered to the Lord Anjaneya.

Special  Uthsavas are made on Every year   Hanumath Jayanthi ,  Madhwa Navami.
