About this Sacred Grove

Anjatti Road Bye Pass Muneeshwaran Temple is a famous guardian shrine located on Anjatti Road near the Bye Pass in Hosur, Krishnagiri district. Lord Muneeshwaran is worshipped as the fierce protector of travelers, drivers and the local people from accidents, evil spirits and enemies. Since it is on a busy bypass road, lorry and car drivers stop to offer prayers for safe journey. Legend says Muneeswaran appeared to protect people from frequent accidents and night-time disturbances on this stretch. Devotees believe offering cigar, alcohol and pongal to the deity removes fear, black magic and legal troubles, and grants safety, courage and victory.
