The highest Hanuman statue in India also moves?? Karol Bagh, Delhi
Hanuman temple in karol Bagh is one of the most popular
Hindu temples in
Delhi. The shrine is marked by the colossal 108ft statue of
Lord Hanuman and can be seen from the both
Jhandewalan and
Karol Bagh metro station. Tuesdays are quite crowded here, despite the fact that the temple stays open every day. Other than the massive effigy of Lord Hanuman, which fairly does its job of attracting devotees and tourists, the entrance of the temple is also an attraction. The entrance door has been carved in a shape of the mouth of the deity and one can reach the main hall of the shrine through a passageway.
During the evening
Aarti; the arms of Hanuman’s giant statuemove back, the chest slides open and the beautiful images of
Lord Shri Rama & Devi Sita protrudes to give darshan (sight) to all the devotees. Certainly a dazzling sight!
