Hanuman Garhi, Nainital

Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, India
While not directly in Bhimtal, Hanuman Garhi is a highly popular and significant attraction frequently visited by tourists staying in Bhimtal, as it's a short and scenic drive away. This revered temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the devoted companion of Lord Rama. The temple was established in 1 950 by the local saint, Baba Neem Karoli, whose ashram is also located nearby. The temple's strategic location on a hilltop provides breathtaking panoramic views of the sunset over the Himalayas, the vast Tarai Valley, and the entire Nainital town. This makes it a favored spot for photographers and those seeking a serene vantage point to witness nature's spectacle. The idol of Lord Hanuman inside the temple is unique, often depicted as breaking open his chest to show Lord Rama residing within his heart, symbolizing ultimate devotion. Within the complex, there are also smaller shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Rama. Hanuman Garhi is not just a spiritual center but also a place of great natural beauty. The serene environment and the cool mountain air add to the peaceful ambiance. The temple remains festive almost throughout the year, with special decorations and small fairs held during festivals like Ram Navami and Navratri. Tuesdays and Saturdays are particularly busy, attracting a large number of devotees as these days are considered auspicious for worshipping Lord Hanuman. The temple complex also houses the Ashram of Lila Sah Bapu and shrines of Shitala Mata on the opposite side of the hill, making it a comprehensive religious site. Visiting Hanuman Garhi offers a blend of spiritual fulfillment and an opportunity to witness the stunning natural vistas that define the Kumaon region. It is a highly recommended excursion for anyone visiting Bhimtal or Nainital.
