Why Dhanushdhari Hanuman Mandir famous? It is about the temple of Hanuman ji in Jaipur which has a speciality that Hanumanji is holding a bow.
There are many unseen historical and religious places among the picturesque hills of Aravali near Jaipur city. One of these religious places is named Dhanushdhari Hanuman Temple.
This temple located in Amer tehsil is surrounded by large sand dunes and hills on all sides. The hill near this temple is known as Akeda Dungar. This place is a great tourist spot along with being a religious place.
It is said that in the era of kings, a king fought with a tiger at this place and killed it. Later the king built this temple as a symbol of victory over the tiger.
Apart from Dhanushdhari Hanuman Temple, this temple is also known as Bagh Baghdi Hanuman Temple and Nirjhara Hanuman Temple. The idol of Hanuman ji in this temple is quite different from other temples of Hanumanji.
The specialty of this idol is that it has a bow on its shoulder. Generally, this form of Hanumanji is not seen in any temple.
There are footprints on a high platform in front of the temple. Just like monkeys are present in most of the hill temples of Hanumanji, monkeys are present in this place as well.
This place becomes very spectacular during the rainy season. When we climb the sand dunes near the temple and look around, the natural beauty of this place is revealed.
