This small suburb is also famous for the Hanuman tilla, a temple of Hindu deity Hanuman, built by the great warrior Bhima[citation needed]. The entire complex has around 20 temples devoted to various Hindu Gods and Goddesses. It is believed that Lord Hanuman stopped here while on his way to Dronagiri mountain to fetch Sanjeevani, a powerful life-restoring herb, for Lord Lakshmana.
