Shree Bade Hanuman Ji: The Reclining Deity

December 12, 2025 Friday

Shree Bade Hanuman Ji Mandir is unique in the world because it is the only temple where Lord Hanuman is worshipped in a reclining or sleeping posture (Lete Hanuman). Located near the Sangam, the idol is submerged in the waters of the Ganga during high floods, which is considered a good omen.

The rush here is massive on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Use the Trilok App to check the live crowd status and find the best time for Darshan.
