== History and mythology ==
It is believed that the hillock or '''gudda''' in [[Kannada|Kannada language]] that hosts the main deity Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy was formed from a heap of [[Eleusine coracana|Raagi/Finger Millet]] and hence was termed "Ragigudda". Local mythology has it that this place owes it to a dharmic lady Sudharma who was the wife of a local chieftain. She is an embodiment of good character and a very pious. One day the trinity come in the form of visitors and ask for bhiksha (alms). She gives them newly harvested '''Raghava Dhanya''' or Ragi. Her mother in law disapproves it and wants it back. This being an unholy act she says that if the visitors do not want the bhiksha then she does not need the Ragi. This Ragi becomes a hillock. In the end, the holy trinity are pleased with her selfless behavior and grant her their sacred [[Darśana|darshan]]. The holy trinity expressed their will to remain near the hillock and turned themselves into stones nearby. These three stones now bear engravings of the trinity.<ref name="ishtadevataanjaneya">{{cite web |title=Ragigudda Sri Prasanna Anjaneyaswamy Temple |url=https://www.ishtadevata.com/temple/ragigudda-sri-prasanna-anjaneyaswamy-temple-jayanagar-karnataka/ |website=ishtadevata.com |access-date=7 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200607164907/https://www.ishtadevata.com/temple/ragigudda-sri-prasanna-anjaneyaswamy-temple-jayanagar-karnataka/ |archive-date=7 June 2020 }}</ref>
