Good morning.

Selva Anjaneyar Temple at Chennimalai in Erode district of Tamil nadu. It is believed this temple is more than 500 years old.
During his search for Mother Sita who was caged in the Ashoka vana of Ravana, it is believed that Anjaneya passed through Chennimalai. The spot where he stayed, has grown into a rock later. The present temple is built on this rock. Fifty years ago people began to worship Sri Hanuman installing the idol on the rock. It is a staunch belief of the people, that the Panchaloha (made of five metals) Anjaneya , weighing 650 kg, has wonderful powers.
Though there are many Anjaneya temples in the country, the idols are made of stone only. This is the only temple that has a Panchaloha idol, 5.5. feet tall. It is a hill temple.
Even inspired poets find it difficult to describe the greatness, valour and devotion of Sri Anjaneya who had totally surrendered himself to the service of Lord Shri Rama. He is gracing from this temple. Devotees offer Tulasi garland,sendura and butter on realizing their prayers.
