BhaktiVedAbout the temple
On a hill on Hyderabad's outskirts, a linga installed by Sri Rama; hundreds of small lingas lie scattered around the hill.
The legend
Rama sent Hanuman to Kashi for a linga; when he was late, Rama prayed to Shiva and received one. Hanuman, arriving with many lingas, flung them across the hill — hence the scattered lingas, and the name Kesari (Hanuman) gutta, Keesaragutta.
