Jhandewalan Hanuman temple, Delhi

 

Jai Hanuman

 

Renowned for its 108-feet-tall Hanuman statue in Delhi, the Jhandewalan Hanuman Temple   is significant among the revered shrines in the capital city. Jhandewalan Hanuman Temple  is located closer to Jhandewalan metro - right above the raised metro line between Karol Bagh and Jhandewalan Metro Stations.

 

The temple dedicated  to Lord Hanuman,  took nearly 13 years to be constructed, becoming a remarkable landmark.  An intriguing feature of the temple is its entrance, designed to resemble the gaping mouth of a demoness, perhaps symbolizing the demons vanquished by Lord Hanuman throughout his life, more specifically during his visit to Lanka over the Sea.
