One of the prominent tourist attractions in Ayodhya, Hanuman Garhi, a huge four sided structure
resembling a fort, is a citadel where a temple of Lord Hanuman is situated. The garhi has circular bastions on each of its comers. It is a place of great
importance for worship of Lord Hanuman. In the main temple complex, there is a statue of Mata Anjani, mother of Hanuman. She is having Bal Hanuman in her
lap. The temple has golden idol of Lord Hanuman. Hanuman is considered as the true devotee of Ram and Sita. An interesting fact about the present temple
is that it was built by Nawab of Awadh Shuzaudallah. The Hanuman Garhi temple, located in the center of Ayodhya, needs to be visited not only for its
religious importance but also because of architecture. It is said that Hanuman lived here in a cave to protect Ramkot, the birth place of Lord Ram. The
main temple of Hanuman Garhi is reached after climbing 76 steps. It’s pleasure to be in Hanuman Garhi at the time of celebration of Hanuman Jayanti &
Ram Navami. Photography is not permitted in Hanuman Garhi Temple complex.
