    A must visit - Ancient Lord Hanuman temple
    Trip to Varanasi is not completed without visiting the mighty Sankat Mochan temple. A divine place to be and tastiest Prasad you will ever find anywhere in India. Spend some time there sitting and enjoying the vibes.

    Must Visit..
    Temple of Lord Hanuman in Banaras where Tulsidas Ji Wrote Ramayan. It is a very Old Temple and oftenly very crowded one. Mobiles etc are not allowed inside the temple and you need to Keep it outside. Temple does need a better Queue Management and Parking

    Spiritual Enlightening Experience
    Sankat Mochan Temple is a profound sanctuary of spirituality and enlightenment. Nestled in a serene environment, the temple exudes a sense of peace and calm that envelops visitors as soon as they enter. The atmosphere is imbued with devotion, making it an ideal place for contemplation and spiritual rejuvenation. The temple's architecture is both beautiful and inspiring, reflecting traditional craftsmanship that enhances the spiritual experience. Devotees and visitors alike are often moved by the divine presence felt throughout the temple grounds. The Sankat Mochan Temple is not just a place of worship but a centre for spiritual growth. The regular chanting, prayers, and rituals conducted here create anambience of deep devotion and inner peace. A visit to this sacred space leaves one feeling spiritually enlightened and profoundly serene.

Excellent by all standards. Small relative to Kashi Vishwanath but still big and spacious. The very serene and calming atmosphere in the temple. Folklore says it was established by Tulsidasji. It has beautiful Ram, Sita, and Laxman statues. Right in front of Ram is a statue of Hanumanji in the next hall..

Temple has space for your slippers and also a temple-owned shop for prasad and flowers inside the temple. So need not buy these stuff from shops outside. The quality of prasad in the temple is way better than what you get outside. Phones are not allowed inside the temple.

Everything was very organised starting from the entrance to the complete tour. The Mandir's people keeping your shoes or giving you locker won't ask for any specific amount to pay, they will say to pay according to your will. I really like that.

The sankat mochan hanuman temple i one of those temple which is very sacred. It is that temple where Tulsi das ji wrote Hanuman Chalisa. It is also believed that, Silver comes from the ground naturally. You can spot some of the silver on the black tiles around the temple which you are walking or doing prakaram or pradakshina. There is also a very old tree which stands still and you don't wan to miss that. After the terrorist attack on the temple, no electronical items like mobile phones, smart watches are allowed. You may carry your wallet. There is a locker facility at the entrance which you may use. We left everything in our car before going though.

Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple is a Hindu temple and is dedicated to the Hindu God Hanuman. The deity was called Sankat Mochan which means he relieves from problems and therefore devotees come here to make offerings to ask for any kind of problem to be solved. It is not possible to bring cell phones or electronic devices which can be left outside in small shops that sell sweets and flowers

When around BHU campus, this is nearby. Cameras and purse not allowed inside. Left the items in the car. So no photos to upload by me. The parking for cars is limited space ( ample for 2 wheelers ), so can get tricky if you do not have a driver. The place definitely needs better maintenance and managing crowds. Took Darshan from a distance as it was crowded and no line management. We went in the late afternoon.

For a Hindu and more particularly to a believer of Lord Hanuman (the monkey god), nothing could be more important than to pay a visit to this temple. It is believed that if you visit this place and pray, all your troubles would be solved or in other words a place where Lord Hanuman would lead you to a path so that you can solve your troubles. The Place is well maintained and adequate security is placed. They don’t allow cameras, mobile phones to the temple area. however wallets are allowed.

The temple have the idol that is quite beautiful but different from the other which I used to see in routine. Camera not allowed and it will be better to have the Prasad from inside the temple after getting the slip. Inside the temple premise there is another temple of Lord Ram.
Overall very nice experience.
