Long back,  There was a village in north Karnataka by name 'Laadlapura'. Once, the head of the village got a dream in which Lord Hanuman informed that He is present under a black stone which is used by the local dhobis for washing clothes on the banks of the river 'Bheema' flowing nearby the village. He ordered him to stop using the stone for that purpose and install it in a proper place. Next day, the village head got surprised of his dream and came to the river 'Bheema'  where not only dhobis wash clothes and also people of that village came there for drinking water. The village head assembled all of them and nformed them about his previous night's dream. Then they coopearated with him in searching the Lord Hanuman idol beneath the black stone. As a great surprise, they found a beautifully carved Lord Hanuman idol under that stone. They took the idol out and placed inside a bullock cart.

With great devotion and joyful procession, they were coming to their village. But on the way, one of the wheel of that cart had got stuck. All their efforts to pull the cart have failed. They brought another cart with four energetic bulls and tried to move forward. But in vain. That night of Kartika bahula amavasya, the village head along with his followers stayed there. Again, he got another dream in which Lord Hanuman gave him a written note and asked to install Him in the nearby village called 'Konchura' as it is a place where Lord Sri Rama and also the great sage Vedavyas have performed 'Yagna' ( a ritual done infront of the sacred fire). The existence of Sri Rudradeva temple is the evidence for this. It is such a holy place where 33 crore angels are residing. So it is equal to 'Badari kshetra'. Lord Hanuman ordered to install Him in that holy place and be called as 'Konchuresha'.

The next day morning, all of them took holy bath in river Bheema. At that time, the great saint His Holiness Sri Jayateertharu, disciple of His Holiness Sri Akshobhyateertharu was present there on the banks of Bheema river doing his daily rituals. Having come to know everything with his divine power, he  installed Lord Hanuman in Konchur and called Him 'Konchuresha'.

This idol is 5 and 1/2 ft tall with magnificent and beautiful look. It is said to have been installed during 1365A.D -1388 A.D by the great saint Sri Jayateertharu, popularly known as 'Teekaacharyaru'.
