5.1 Choosing a capital

We now move to the r ocky norther n end of the city on the banks of the Tungabhadra. According to local tradition, these hills sheltered the monkey kingdom of V ali and Sugriva mentioned in the Ramayana. Other traditions suggest that Pampadevi, the local mother goddess, did penance in these hills in order to marry Virupaksha, the guardian deity of the kingdom, also recognised as a form of Shiva. To this day this marriage is celebrated annually in the Virupaksha temple.
