Hanuman Garhi is a significant religious site situated in the heart of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, famed as the birthplace of Lord Rama.

Believed to be the place where Hanuman dwelled and guarded the kingdom, Hanuman Garhi sits atop a hill which visitors reach by climbing a flight of 76 stairs. The temple structure is adorned with beautiful architecture, with a four-sided fort-like design, housing the main sanctuary in the center where the idol of Lord Hanuman sits.
