Legends [citation needed] claim that the town was once ruled by Shri M.R. Apparao, a nomadic Zamindar. His father, Sri Meka Venkatadri Bahadur, came to the junction of Bahadur Hanuman with a tremendous appetite in the year 1938. The area was filled with shrubs, thorns and bushes. Suddenly, a monkey came, put a banana in Zamindar's hand and disappeared. Believing that the god Sri Anjaneya Swamy revealed himself as a monkey and handed him a banana, a statue of Sri Anjaneya Swamy in a state of devotion was chosen to be erected there. It was built later that year.
The idol was erected to protect religious devotees from the clutches of evil spirits and set up the Hanuman Junction, a four-lane junction.
