Ardhagiri Veeranjaneya Swamy Temple
Ardhagiri Sri Veeranjaneya Swamy Temple is located on the hill in Aragonda village, Chittor District, Andhra Pradesh, 15 km away from Kanipakam. The presiding deity here is Lord Hanuman worshiped as Sri Veeranjaneya Swamy.

According to legend, during Tretayuga, Hanuman brought Sanjeeva Parvatham in order to save Lakshmana during a war when Lakshmana fell unconscious. During the journey, half of Sanjeeva Parvatham fell, and the place where it landed came is known as Aragonda. Aragonda, initially is called as Arakonda (In telugu language, "Ara" means 'Half' and "Konda" means Hill or Mountain). With the time, the people changed their way of pronouncing this word "Arakonda" as "Aragonda" which is now the name of the village under this hill. This hill is famous with name "Ardhagiri". In Ardhagiri, it is believed that Sanjeevaraya Pushkarini (pond containing the holy water) never gets dried nor spoiled, even when kept for long periods of time. When devotees drink this theertham (or holy water) from the Sanjeevaraya Pushkarini, all types of diseases are getting cured.

Everyday, about 3-5 thousand devotees visit the temple and every month on the Pournami day, about 30,000 devotees come to the temple and stay there overnight.
