Hanuman Temple

The monarchs of Orchha were great
devotees of Lord Rama, the fabled
god-king who ruled over Ayodhya
according to the ancient epic, the
Ramayana.
Orchha’s rulers built monuments in
memory of virtually all the important
characters in the epic, and the Hanuman
Temple is one such sanctuary.
The Ramayana tells us that
Kishkandhapuri was the place where Rama
first met the monkey, Hanuman, who
belonged to the vanara race, or the race
that lived in a vana (forests). Hanuman
became one of the greatest devotees of
Rama, and in time, was recognised as a
god himself.
The Hanuman Temple was built in 1717 by
the then Orchha ruler, Raja Sujan Singh.
Apparently, the king was so impressed by
a presentation of Tulsidas’ epic poem,
Rama Charitra Manas, that he decided to
erect all the prominent places mentioned
in the epic, in Orchha.
Accordingly, the Hanuman Temple was
built here, and idols of both Rama and
Hanuman were installed in it. The temple
architecture is similar to the
architecture prevalent in many of the
temples of South India.
