Pampa Sarovara of Ramayana is identified with the Pampa Sarovara of Anegundi in Karnataka. This place is an abode of Pampa Devi (a form of Devi Parvati) who is the presiding deity of this place. Pampa Devi was devoted to Lord Shiva and performed penance in this place. Lord Shiva who was abiding in the Hemakuta Hill married her. Sri Rama came to this place during forest exile when he was searching for Devi Sita. Anegundi and adjoining Hampi regions are identified with the puranic Kishkindha.
