Responding to media queries around the controversies surrounding the birthplace of Lord Anjaneya (Hanuman), Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai categorically stated that the birthplace of Lord Anjaneya was Anjanadri Hill in Koppal district, which he termed as ‘Kishkinda’.
“There is no necessity to declare that Anjaneya was born in Anjanadri Hill (in Koppal district). There cannot be a more important evidence than that of Kishkinda (mentioned in the Ramayana epic). Some people might be making controversial statements about the birthplace of Lord Anjaneya. But, the fact is that he was born in Kishkinda which is the Anjanadri Hill… I will repeat it a thousand times,” Mr. Bommai said during his visit to Anjanadri Hill at Gangavathi taluk in Koppal district on Monday.
