Among the many incidents of the Puranic era, a special note is told about this mountain. Lakshmana was wounded by the arrow of Ravana's son Indrajit in the battle of Ramayana.
At that time, important task Hanuman accepted the request of the doctors to bring Sanjivani, a medicinal plant from Dronagiri mountain, to save him. Hanuman, who had no knowledge of medicine, lifted the entire Dronagiri mountain and carried it from north to south. A part of the hill fell here. It came to be known as Jarandeshwar hill.
