'''Marandahalli''' is a small village which lies along the [[Bangalore]]–[[Tirupati]] national highway, in [[Kolar district]] near [[Mulbagal]]. Marandahalli is a small village with approximately 500 houses, a government school, a temple of Grama Devate Gangamma and a temple of Sri Anjaneya Swamy.<br />
<br />
==Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple==<br />
Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple in the village traces its history back 400 years. When [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] attacked [[Vijayanagar empire]] ruled by Sri [[Krishnadevaraya]], people sought safer destinations; then the Raja of Punganur provided shelter at present-day Marandahalli. <br />
<br />
The temple was constructed by [[Brahmin]] scholars with the Idols of 'Sri Anjaneya Swamy, Sri Varadarajaru with Sridevi and Bhoodevi'. From then the temple has been renovated twice, the second time in 2000.<br />
<br />
Along with the existing idols, Lord [[Shiva]], [[Parvati]] and [[Ganapati]] idols were also installed at the time of renovation. <br />
