Bada Hanuman Mandir

Highlights

Overview

Bada Hanuman Mandir is a highly revered and ancient Hindu temple located right next to the famous Durgiana Temple in Amritsar . This temple holds immense mythological significance, as it is believed to be the exact location where Lord Rama's sons, Luv and Kush, tied Lord Hanuman to a banyan tree (वट वृक्ष), which can still be seen on the premises today . Entering the temple fills visitors with a profound sense of devotion and powerful spiritual energy . Sitting peacefully within the complex brings an incredible stillness to the mind, offering a deeply meditative experience . The temple is also famous for a unique tradition during Navratri: devotees who pray for a child bring their sons back, dressed as "Langoors" (monkeys), to express their gratitude once their wish is fulfilled .
