History :
Sri Anjaneya, as an efficient, powerful and sincere companion-cum-servant of Lord Rama, was returning back from Lanka after meeting Mother Sita abducted by Ravana. He relaxed on this rock. He is a swayambu gracing the devotees here. During the rule of the Cholas, the Swayambu was discovered and a small temple was built for popular worship, according to hearsay stories.
Temple Greatness
As all of us know, Sri Anjaneya flew to Lanka crossing many hills. Shanmughapuram in Coimbatore district is believed to be a place where he placed his foot prints. Citing the occasion, a five feet long idol is made for Him on a rock on Palaru.
There is a small spring-like water spot near this place. According to some who claim to have seen two snakes bathe in this spring daily, even now, go to the sanctum sanctorum and worship the Lord. There are shrines for Lord Yoga Narasimha, Chakarathazhwar and Vinayaka with twin face.
Sri Anjaneya in the temple is five feet long in a reclining form gracing the devotees in the middle of Palaru. He is a swayambumurthi. Not as a sub-deity in the prakara of the temple, He is the presiding deity of the temple. He is facing Lanka. The temple is situated in the foot hills of Govinda hills and Thadakachi hills where Sage Viswamitra performed penance. Lord Vinayaka graces with two faces.
