This temple is located in Jayanagara Naulageri village of Hosanagara Taluk of Shimoga district in Karnataka state. The architectural beauty of this idol is excellent which is carved in a single black stone (Krishna Shila). This is an ancient temple said to be 1300 years old.
It is said that during Tretayuga when Lord Sri Rama performed the Ashwamedha Yaga, a horse was released to wander for one year. Then a devotee of Lord Shiva by name Veeramani had captured that horse and challenged the warriors accompanying it. Then Lord Hanuman fought with Veeramani. In that battle, King Veeramani was defeated and killed by Lord Hanuman. Later Lord Hanuman flew high up in the sky towards the Himalayas and brought the 'Sanjeevani' (the powerful herb which could revive a dead person. This is the holy place where Lord Hanuman gave life to King Veeramani.
Many devotees visit this 'Viraata Mukhyaprana' temple and perform puja and seva activities to the Lord Anjaneya.
