There is a village called Rasanagi in Jevargi taluk in Gulbarga. This village is situated on the banks of River Bheema.This village is famous for its Bala Bheema temple. This temple is widely visited by people of Jevargi as well as by people of other parts of district and state. There are poojas and sevas happening every day in this temple as well as yearly festivals on special days meant for Lord Hanuman.
The story of this temple is as follows:
A few hundred years ago, some women used to wash clothes on the banks of River Bheema. While doing so, there was a pious woman who used to hear some man crying while she was washing clothes on a particular stone. This went on for several days and then she told about this to her husband. Her husband visited that stone next day and to his surprise even he heard the same cry coming out of that stone. He went and informed the village heads. On some night, Lord Hanuman appeared in the dream of one of the village heads and he ordered him to pull that stone from the river and have it installed with a temple around it in the village. The village heads followed the order and pulled the stone from the river.
The stone had Hanuman carved on it with a moustache of Bheema's. The idol was installed with pooja as per Vedic tradition.Temple was constructed and since then pooja is going on every day with lots of visitors visiting the temple. People believe their lives have got better since then. It is believed that this Hanuman takes care of the village's security in the night.There is a footwear that is offered to the Lord. It is seen that this footwear gets worn out every 3 years and will be replaced.
Though this village is small, the activities manifested by Lord Hanuman is enormous in this village. The number of devotees has been surging every year.
