Bade Hanuman Ji Temple Tourism

The Bade Hanuman Ji Temple is a sacred Hindu shrine located in the city of Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), on the banks of the Yamuna River near Sangam, where the confluence of the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati takes place. This ancient temple is famous for its unique supine statue of Lord Hanuman, where the deity is seen lying on its back, which is a rare depiction in Hindu temples. Spanning 20 feet in length, this representation of Hanuman attracts thousands of devotees from all over the country. The temple lies below the ground level and often gets submerged during the monsoon season when water levels rise. Despite this, the devotion and belief of the people do not shake, and the temple continues to be a beacon of unwavering faith. Alongside its spiritual significance, it also serves as an important cultural hub, with many rituals and festivals being celebrated with great pomp and grandeur at the site.
