Where nature’s beauty meets spirituality

Picture a place where mythology literally springs to life, creating a spectacle that will leave you breathless and spellbound. In the spiritual town of Chitrakoot lies Hanuman Dhara, a sacred site where nature and divinity meet in the most extraordinary embrace. Imagine climbing a scenic path, surrounded by lush greenery, to discover a temple that isn't just a structure but a living, breathing narrative of devotion.

As you approach, you'll see a stunning red stone marble statue of Bajrang Bali (Lord Hanuman) standing majestically, seemingly watching over you with a protective gaze. The gentle stream flowing gracefully over the statue creates a mesmerizing effect that transforms a simple temple visit into a profound spiritual experience. This isn't just another religious site but a magical intersection where natural beauty, mythological wonder, and spiritual energy converge to offer you a moment of pure, unadulterated awe. 

Origins steeped in legends 

Buckle up for a story that blends mythological drama, divine intervention, and a touch of celestial first aid! As per the story, when Lord Hanuman returned from his epic mission in Lanka, his tail ablaze after his heroic act of setting the demon king Ravana's kingdom on fire. Wounded and seeking relief, he turns to Lord Ram, who provides a miraculous solution. "Go to a special place," Ram tells him, “where a divine stream will flow and heal your wounds." And just like that, Hanuman finds himself at this extraordinary location, where cool, soothing waters cascade exactly as predicted, washing away his battle scars and bringing instant relief. As the stream continues to flow centuries later, it serves as a living reminder of a moment of divine care, inviting you to witness a piece of mythology that transcends time.

Then, you can go to Ramghat, which provides another spiritual highlight, where Tulsidas is believed to have composed the Ram Charitra Manas. If you are a nature lover, head to the Sphatik Shila, a massive rock where Lord Ram and Sita are said to have rested during their exile.
