There is another strong
belief that Sri Hanuman stayed a day at Singarakonda on his way to Srilanka to
search for Sita Devi.
This could be why Sri
Prasannanjaneya Swamy idol faces south, a rare Sri Hanuman darshan for
devotees.

Rajagopuram
As Per temple Sila Shasan
the temple was built during the 14th century.
During the 14th century,
Singanna a devotee of Lakshminarasimha Swamy used to live in a village near by
the hill. His daughter Narsamma used to take their cows to gaze on the
hill. They observed that one of the cows was not giving milk for several days.
To find out the reason, Singanna followed the cow secretly and observed that
the cow went to a rock on the hill and stood. A boy came out of the rock and
sucked the milk from the cow and disappeared. Singanna felt that his beloved God
Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy only came as a boy and took the milk from the cow.
Singanna built the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple on the hill with this
belief. Later on, people started calling this hill as Singarakonda.
Around 210 years ago (end
of 17th century), during the inauguration of Dwaja Stambham on the premises of
Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple, thousands of devotees witnessed that a
Yogi installed Sri Prasannanjaneya Swamy idol at Bhavanasi tank below the
Singarakonda hill and disappeared. The devotees started praying for Sri
Prasannanjaneya Swamy at Singarakonda.
