Rishimukha Parvat

Rishimukha Parvat is one of the most revered sites in the Hampi–Anegundi region, deeply rooted in the Ramayana legends. It is said that Sugriva, the exiled Vanara king, took refuge here after being chased by his brother Vali. The hill is considered sacred because Hanuman met Lord Rama here and introduced him to Sugriva, leading to the formation of their alliance to rescue Sita.

Surrounded by boulders and lush greenery, the area around Rishimukha Parvat retains an ancient and untouched aura. Pilgrims and travelers often visit it not just for its mythological significance but also for the panoramic views it offers of the Tungabhadra valley and the ruins of Hampi across the river. Small shrines and carvings linked to the epic add a spiritual dimension to the rugged landscape.
