Introduction
Warm-heartily greeted by the chief priest of the temple, Sri S.Ramanujam Muniandy began the evolutionary story of the Kajang Sri Renganathar temple. During the 1960s, the temple began as a small hut with a small picture of Sri Renganathar from India, which was situated in a small forest between trees that took shape of a "naamam". In the year 1964, upon the establishment of JKR and Telekom quarters around the area, the hut-temple development began with the support of local MIC (political party), tamil school teachers and the government. In the year 1967, the hut-temple was developed to a proper temple structure with a 3 feet image of Lord Renganathar.

Lord Hanuman
The presences of Lord Hanuman in the temple began during the 1980s through a 1 1/2 feet image. In the year 2005, the 4 feet Hanuman image was installed. The temple management wanted to focus on the uniqueness of Lord Hanuman, by utilizing the Lord Adi Renganathar's temporary Kumbabhishegam mandabam (hall), an open-eye meditative Lord Hanuman with his chin-mudra posture was installed in the mandabam, Lord Hanuman is an amsam (form) of Lord Shiva, which inspired the management to design Lord Hanuman's meditative posture in a Shiva Lingga.
