== History ==
The pratishtapana of the Lord Balabheema was done by Sri [[Vyasatirtha]] (the chief saint in the court of Sri [[Krishnadevaraya]] of Hampi ). The deity is idolized by devotees in Dharwad and the surrounding districts of Karnataka and Maharashtra. The temple management was handed over to the Nuggikeri Desai family, a [[Deshastha Brahmin]] family which traces its origins to [[Indapur]] in Pune district, by the second [[Konkanastha]] [[Peshwa]] during the 18th century [[Maratha Empire]]. The founder of the Nuggikeri Desai family, Nilerao from Indapur, was in the service of the [[Maratha Army]] and had participated in the [[Battle of Palkhed]] and other important battles. Due to his services, he was awarded the Jagir of Nuggikeri and fourteen other villages in Dharwad. Since then, a senior member of the Nuggikeri Desai family has taken care of the temple management.

== Present day scenario ==
Till date, the Lord Hanuman temple is being managed by the same Desai family. The three sub-families of Nuggikeri Desai family follow a system of paryaya (internal rotation system) in the management of the temple with the management changing once every year

Every year on the auspicious day of Chaitra Suddha Poornima i.e., Hanuman Jayanti, the management organizes a Ratha Mahotsav.
Every Saturday thousands of devotees visit the temple and offer prayers to Lord Hanuman <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nativeplanet.com/hubli/attractions/nuggikeri-hanuman-temple/ | title=Nuggikeri Hanuman Temple, Hubli | publisher=Native Planet | accessdate=November 11, 2012}}</ref>
