Bade Hanuman Mandir

Bade Hanuman Mandir

Hanuman Mandir Prayagraj (Bade Hanuman Ji Temple) at the Sangam bank is one of India's most unique temples — housing a reclining Hanuman idol that is submerged in the Ganges waters during the monsoon flood season, and re-emerges when the waters recede. The 6-metre reclining statue is one of very few reclining Hanuman idols in India. A top Prayagraj pilgrimage stop, especially during Kumbh Mela when the submerged idol becomes a symbol of divine timing. Free entry.
