Situated by the side of the Durgiana Mandir, Amritsar, this temple is about 250 years old. It is said to have been build on the site where Hanuman was tied to a tree after he had suffered a defeat at the hands of Rama's sons Lav and Kush who held the horse of the Ashwamedh Yajya in defiance of Lord Ram's orders and fought successfully against the imperial army. Originally, the shrine was housed in a kachcha hut erected by an ascetic know as Mauni Baba.
It is believed that whosoever comes to worship here gets his wish fulfilled by god Hanuman. That is why parents, who beget children through their devotional service to Hanuman, present them once in a year at the temple dressed in gaudy clothes. The children dance and sing in praise of Hanuman. It is perhaps the only temple in India where this performance is held during the Kartik Navratra days before the Dussehra celebrations. Two idols of Hanuman, one in the standing and the other in the sitting posture, are installed here. The people who visit it in large numbers on every Tuesday hold the temple in great reverence.
