Entrance of the temple is very attractive and welcomes every one with a huge Gardua statue. The temple is well maintained by the comity.
The temple is situated on a hillock. There is a smaller temple dedicated to Ganesha, Navagrahas and Rajarajeshwari at the base of the hillock. The temple also plays host to the holy trinity of the Hindu's engraved on huge rocks at the side of the temple.
As per the legend, it is believed that the hillock which hosts the main deity Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy was formed from a heap of Ragi Millet and hence was termed "Ragigudda".

Their existence at Ragigudda stands like a witness to the complete developments up to now.
