Chikjajur is a town in Karnataka. The town is served by a railway line. Bharamannaikanadurga is a nearby place known historically as Bharamannaika (called Bichugatti Bharamannaika) who ruled the region as early as 1455. He is the close relative of Madakari Nayaka who ruled Chitradurga during that period. Chikjajur later on emerged as the market centre for surrounding regions there.
Main attraction of this town is 500 year old Temple of Lord Maruthi. This temple was resurrected by Shanbhog (Village administrator) of Adnur / Adnoor Bheemappa in 1900.
