Bada Hanuman Mandir, Amritsar, Punjab India

The Bada Hanuman temple is dedicated to the Lord Hanuman (Monkey god); this beautiful temple portrays the main deity in a sitting position. The large statue of Lord Hanuman in this temple makes an interesting impact.

This temple has a close relationship with the great epic of Ramayana. The temple surroundings are echoed with the chanting of mantras from Ramayana continuously, which gives a peaceful spiritual feeling to every pilgrim. It is customary for couples who are bequeathed with a boy after receiving blessings of Lord Hanuman to offer their children as part of Langoor Sena (soldiers of Lord Hanuman)at the temple. One of the main attractions of this temple is the Langoor dance performed by the devotees.
