Hanuman Garhi Temple

Location

Legendary belief is that Hanuman Garhi is the place where Hanuman used to inhabit. But history reveals that this place was donated by the Nawab of Avadh and during the middle of the 10th century a temple was constructed at the site by one of the courtesans of Nawab.

One of the popular shrines in Ayodhya Hanuman Garhi is believed to be the fulfiller of every wish and hence it is often crowded with the fortune seekers. Hanuman Garhi depicts as a cave temple where a flight of 76 steps fetches the devotee in to its holy premises. The inner sanctum embellishes the idol of infant hanuman in his mother’s lap and though the idol is quite unimpressive the devotees earnestly believe that it would get them all the boons they ask for.

This place is a hub of all type of visitors since the entire surroundings are dotted with a good number of edifices. Hanuman Garhi resembles that of a four sided fort with circular bastions on its each corner. Its structural elegance and artistic grandeur make the devotee and the visitor spell bound.
