How To Reach Mahavir Mandir

Patna, Bihar, India
Mahavir Mandir is one of the holiest and most popular Hindu temples in Patna, dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the 'Monkey God.' It is the second-largest religious shrine in North India, trailing only the Vaishno Devi Temple in terms of daily footfall and offerings. The temple's history dates back to the 1730s when it was established by Swami Balanand of the Ramanandi sect, but its current multi-story structure and prominence largely developed after the 1940s under the guidance of Acharya Kishore Kunal. The temple is renowned for its unique feature of having two idols of Lord Hanuman facing different directions—one idol is believed to protect the city from evil, and the other fulfills the wishes of devotees, earning it the name 'Manokamna Temple' (Temple of Wishes). It is a major center for pilgrimage tourism, attracting millions of devotees annually, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which are considered auspicious days for Lord Hanuman. The temple trust is actively involved in philanthropic activities, funding a large cancer hospital and other social services, using the substantial daily donations received from the devout.
