Beechupally Anjaneya Swamy Temple

The temple was established in the 15th-16th century during the Vijayanagara Empire when Guru Vyasaraja (also known as Sri Vyasa Raya), the rajaguru of Emperor Krishnadevaraya, consecrated the Hanuman idol. A road bridge built in the 1950s connected Telangana and Rayalaseema regions, facilitating trade between central/north India and south India. A Rama temple was added to the complex in 1992. The site gained prominence during the 2004 and 2016 Krishna Pushkaras when the Telangana government constructed elaborate ghats for pilgrims.

The temple holds significant religious importance as a sacred site on the banks of the Krishna River, where Hindu obsequies for departed souls are performed according to tradition. The shrine is renowned among devotees who believe their wishes are fulfilled upon worshipping Anjaneya Swamy here. The temple serves as a major destination for pushkara snanam, a sacred ritual bath that takes place every twelve years during Krishna Pushkaram. The unique iconography depicts Hanuman with both hands handcuffed, representing a distinctive form of the deity.
