Yantrodharaka Hanuman Temple is a unique temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, located near the Tungabhadra River. The temple is famous for housing a special idol of Lord Hanuman installed by the saint Vyasaraja, a prominent philosopher and devotee of Lord Krishna. The temple gets its name from the yantra (mystical diagram) that is believed to be embedded in the idol. The temple is carved into a large boulder and features intricate carvings and sculptures. The idol is unique because it shows Lord Hanuman in a different posture than typical representations.
