He then found that the sound was coming from a stone, he understand that the stone was idol of Lord Hanuman and constructed a beautiful temple there.
History Behind the Name” Karmanghat Hanuman”
After the temple was built by Kakatiya King, after 400 years, Once Aurangzeb instructed his ministers to destroy all the Hindu temples all over the India. But, his people couldn’t able to enter into this temple.
Then the Aurangzeb himself came along with a weapon “Crow bar” to destroy the temple. Then He heard a superior voice somewhere from sky saying, “Mandir todna hai raja, to kar maan ghat”
The meaning is “If you want to destroy the temple, then make your heart strong”

From that day the name “Karmanghat Hanuman” came into existence.

It is not an ancient temple and the history is not very clear.

Before 1998, shepherds, cows and local people use to visit this hill
The temple is very peaceful and the view from this hill is very scenic.
Mostly the temple will be free and less crowded and neatly maintained with good Parking space.
A wonderful place to visit during mornings and evenings. Pleasant atmosphere and scenic beauty on the hill and can get blessings of Lord Venugopala Swamy.
It also has a goshala with lot of cows and we can feed them vegetables.
I will say a must visit temple if you are passing through Kukatpally or Srujana Forum Mall
