India is home to thousands of temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman — from ancient hilltop shrines to modern pilgrimage complexes that receive millions of devotees each year. This directory covers the most significant Hanuman temples on this site, organised by region.
Hanuman is worshipped in many forms: as a boundary guardian by villagers, as a supreme Yogi by Shaiva ascetics, and as the embodiment of strength and devotion by those seeking courage.
