Story
Anegundi (across the Tungabhadra from Hampi) is identified with the Ramayana kingdom of Kishkindha ā the monkey kingdom of SugrÄ«va and Hanuman. The area preserves multiple Ramayana geographic features: the į¹į¹£yamÅ«ka Parvata (where SugrÄ«va sheltered from VÄlÄ«), Pampa Saras (lake where RÄma met ÅabarÄ«), the rock from which Hanuman leapt to Lanka. Archaeologically, Anegundi was inhabited from the Iron Age and continues as a living village with the descendants of the Kiį¹£kindhÄ RÄj-family.
