Hanuman Temple
About Hanuman Temple
This revered shrine was founded by Tulsidas in the early 16th century at a location where he reportedly experienced a divine vision of Hanuman. The temple enshrines Lord Hanuman in his form as Sankat Mochan, meaning the reliever from troubles and difficulties. Located near the Assi River in Varanasi, the temple serves as a spiritual hub for devotees seeking solace and divine intervention. The sanctuary also honors other deities including Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. Beyond daily worship, the temple functions as a cultural center, hosting the prestigious annual Sankat Mochan Sangeet Samaroh, a week-long classical music and dance festival featuring maestros from across India. Tuesdays and Saturdays draw particularly large crowds of worshippers.
