ವಾತಾತ್ಮಜಂ ವಾನರ ಯೂಥಮುಖ್ಯಂ ।

Swift as the mind, equal in speed to the wind, master of the senses, foremost among the wise: son of the wind-god, chief of the vanara host, the messenger of Sri Rama; to him I bow my head.
The Puranic Record
One of the
1,008.
The deity at Rampura is an ancient mūrti, traditionally said to have been consecrated by Sri Vyasaraja, the great Madhva saint of the Vijayanagara age.
During the forest exile, Sri Ramachandra is said to have passed through this region by way of Chunchanakatte, and to have beheld the Kālapurusha resting here. Long after, Sri Vyasaraja consecrated 1,008 idols of Hanuman across the land. They stand to this day, scattered across India, and this kshetra is one among them.
A second tradition tells that the prāna-pratishthā was performed by Sri Gautama Maharshi, one of the Sapta-Rishis, in the Pāncharātra Āgama way. The little bell at the tip of Anjaneya's tail is, they say, the sign that Gautama once walked here.
And the Puranas whisper that near this very kshetra, Ahalya was released from her long stone-curse, touched by Rama's foot, returning to herself after centuries of silence.
The Two Anjaneyas
Both turned North.
Sri Vyasaraja set down not one, but two idols at Rampura. Both face the north, both hold the gesture of fearlessness; each has a small bell at the tail.
The Child Anjaneya

Balanjaneya
The Child Anjaneya: pointing to the rashi chakra, warding off the afflictions of the Sun and the nine planets. At his feet lies the sleeping Kālapurusha himself.

A New Shrine
Sri Vidya Hayagreeva
Carved by the same hands
that shaped Bala Rama.
Beside the historic Doddaanjaneya garbhagudi, a new sanctum rises for Sri Vidya Hayagreeva, the horse-faced form of Vishnu, deity of learning. The idol has been carved from black Krishna shila by the celebrated sculptor Adithya yogiraj, whose Bala Rama vigraha now stands at Ayodhya.
