Located in the heart of Ayodhya, Hanuman Garhi is one of the most famous and highly revered temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Situated on a hilltop, this ancient temple is believed to be the place where Lord Hanuman stayed to protect Ayodhya and continuously guarded the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram.
Devotees need to climb around 76 steps to reach the main temple, where a beautiful idol of Bal Hanuman seated on Mother Anjani’s lap is worshipped with great devotion. Hanuman Garhi holds immense spiritual importance, and it is believed that visiting Ayodhya is incomplete without seeking blessings at this sacred temple before visiting Shri Ram Janmabhoomi.
The temple attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists every day, especially during Ram Navami, Diwali, Hanuman Jayanti, and other religious festivals. The peaceful atmosphere, devotional chants, and panoramic views of Ayodhya city make Hanuman Garhi a must-visit spiritual destination.
