Sri Kengal Anjaneya Swamy Temple
Beautiful temple located at Kengal on Mysore Bangalore Highway. The presiding deity here is Swayambu Hanuman, which is a five & half feet long, and the deity sprouts a mustache. This temple never ceases to surprise its devotees. Few decades ago, the deities face was facing north, and over the years it now looks east! As the face moving from one direction to the other, the hidden eye is also evolving. When the deity was facing north, devotees could see only the right-side of mustache and a right eye, now both the eyes are visible and so is complete mustache.
