Permanent Pictorial Cancellation featuring Anjanadri Hill (Kishkinda), Anegundi, Karnataka (Pin: 583227). The cancellation was issued by the Anegundi Branch Post Office, situated near Hampi in Koppal district, Karnataka Circle.
Anjanadri Hill at Anegundi, near Hampi in Koppal district, Karnataka, is revered as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman according to Hindu mythology and the Valmiki Ramayana. Named after Anjana Devi, Hanuman's mother, the hill is located in the ancient Kishkinda region — the mythological monkey kingdom where Lord Rama met Hanuman and Sugreeva during his exile. A Hanuman temple sits atop the hill, reached via approximately 575 steps, and features a rock-carved idol of Lord Hanuman in a meditative posture. The site is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Karnataka and draws devotees from across India. Anegundi itself is considered the oldest part of the Hampi World Heritage Area, with deep connections to both Ramayana mythology and Vijayanagara history.
