Arthagiri.

Located in Argonda( Meaning Half hill)village , Tavanam Palli Mandal of Chittor District this temple has Veeranjaneya Swami as presiding deity.

Ardagiri Sri Veeranjaneya
Lord Hanuman is here believed to bless devotees with long life, health and prosperity. The story of arakond has given below in detail.

Sthala Puranam:
In tretayuga when the war was going on between Rama and Ravana, Lakshmana looses consciousness in the hands if Indrajeet.
It is said that when Hanuman was bringing Sanjeevani Hill for Lakshmana, Half of the hill fell down here. so the place is called Arakonda or Half hill in telugu.

Sanjeevaraya Pushkarini (Lake), which is formed naturally here, is believed to posses medicinal powers of the herbs of Sanjeevani mountain. Historical evidence exists that Veeranjaneya Swami temple was constructed by Chola Kings.

Devotees strongly believe that if one comes here and prays to the Pavana Putra Hanuman and drinks water from Sanjeevaraya pushkarini(lake) any kind of disease will be cured. This temple is located 10kms from kanipakam.
