Bhadra Hanuman Temple

Mythology states that on Hanuman return journey from Sri Lanka, to bring a Sanjivani herb for Laxman, rested here, A statue of Hanuman is found in sleeping position here and worshipped.

The temple is remodeled and is beautifully carved with small carvings of Hanuman all over it.

As we were wearing shorts we didn’t visit the temple premises but only saw it from the outside.

This place is a must for all Hanuman Bhakts aka followers.
