Stairs have been provided to help visitors go up to view the statue from close quarters.

According to local legend, about 300 years ago a farmer Singam sanjeevudu after losing one of his buffalos, came to this hillock searching for it and slept here. Lord Anjaneya came into his dream and told him the whereabouts of his buffalo. As he woke up and looking around the hillock, he found an illuminating idol of Anjaneya.

The devotees believe that people who do not have children will be blessed by offering 40 day prayers to Lord Anjaneya Swamy. Hanuman Jayanti is the main festival celebrated here. Many devotees perform Hanuman Deeksha for a period of 41 days during Hanuman Jayanthi and visit Kondagattu Hanuman Temple by walk. It is beleived that more than 4 lakh people visit this Temple during Hanuman Jayanthi.
