Anantagiri Kshetram, in Vikarabad of Rangareddy District, is a place of pilgrimage as well as a tiny hill resort, attracting both pilgrims seeking salvation and tourists exploring pleasures. It is the birthplace of river Muchkunda, popularly known as Musi, flowing through Hyderabad. At the behest of Lord Brahma, Markandeya once chose these peaceful and inspiring hills for his penance and hence it is also known as Markandeya Kshetram.
The hilly terrain, the lush green forests with many medicinal plants and herbs, the salubrious climate and the silent and peaceful surroundings have made it an ideal place for both tourists and pilgrims.

Though Keesaragutta is today an attraction for the Ramalingeswara and Lakshminarasimha shrines located there, Keesara was originally called Kesari, after Hanuman.
According to legend, Sri Rama was so enchanted with the beautiful surroundings of the Hill there that he asked Hanuman to bring a 'Sivalinga' from Varanasi so that it could be installed there. As the trusted one did not return in time for the consecration, Rama made one of sand and installed it on the hilltop. Hanuman, who came back with 101 Sivalingas, dejectedly threw them away. Even today, one can see a number of Sivalingas strewn all over the hillock. Keesara was once the capital of the great Vishnukundin dynasty that ruled all over peninsular India south of the Vindhyas between 4th and 6th centuries AD. Archaeological excavations have unearthed palaces amidst fortifications and temple complexes. The area came to be called Telangana as the Vishnukundin patronized and popularized the Telugu language. In fact, it was the court language at that time.
