Sri Prana Devaru (Yantrodharaka Anjaneya Swamy) Hampi. The temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman (The Monkey God) and is also known as Yantrodharaka Anjaneya temple. It is situated right behind the Kodanda Rama Temple near the Chakrathirtha at Hampi, a historical site located in South India, is on the banks of River Tungabhadra in Karnataka state.

This temple contains the image of Lord Hanuman positioned inside an amulet (locally called Yantra and hence the name). If you get a chance to take a closer look, you can find a number of monkeys carved around this amulet like the hour markers in a clock dial, hence it is called Yantrodharaka Anjaneya. Guru Vyasaraja established this temple during the period of King Sri Krishnadevaraya.
