History of the Yalagur goes back to the time of Vasistha Ramayana and Shri Yalguresh stands in the village of Yalgur on the order of Shri Rama for seven villages(Elu Uresh == Yalguresh).
The idol of Shri Hanuman was found in the Govindraj Kere(Lake); (Now called as Gondi Kere). In the vicinity there is Adkal Gudi in the North-west of the Gondi Kere where Shri Lord Venkatesh's 'Sannidhana' is located and now the idols of Shri Venkateshwar and Padmavati is placed and small temple has built in the middle of the big stone because of the fear by Muslim kings of Bijapur. After the fall of Bijapur Kingdom one night one pujari (a Hindu priest) had a dream; who was performing puja on the stone where idol of shri Hanuman was hidden; to break the stone and get the idol; as the pujari was breaking the stone irregularly, the idol was also broken into pieces.
