Located in Jiyaguda around 7 kms from Assembly Road Public Gardens, this small temple is noted for the main deity Hanuman being shrined in an underground chamber. If you're driving, you need to wade through congested winding narrow roads. On the main road itself, just adjascent to a Masjid you will find an Arch. You can drive inside and park your vehicle, there is enough space for a few cars and two wheelers. Inside the temple on the right side, there is a Shivlinga in the open under a tree. On the left you have the sanctum sanctorum of the Hanumanji. Though google states it is open in the evening from 4 pm onwards, we understand that it remains mostly locked in the evening and open only in the morning from 9 am onwards. But even if the sanctum is closed you can have darshan through a small window with wide placed bars allowing a heartful darshan of Lord Anjaneya. It would be relavant in this context to state, that as per tradition darshan through such a window is considered superior to a direct darshan of the Lord getting inside the sanctum sanctorum. The lights are lit and you can have a clear vision of the Lord. If there is no crowd, you can sit on the floor opposite the window, have your darshan and chant mantras or mediate on the Lord. Though small the temple offers a peaceful experience. OM ANJANEYAYA NAMAHA | OM SRI...

I visited Sri Kesari Hanuman Temple 🙏in Jiyaguda with my family on a Saturday, and it was an unforgettable experience. Situated on the serene banks of the River Musi, this 300-year-old temple is steeped in history and spirituality. Built by the revered saint Samartha Ramdas Swami, it is a sacred spot tied to legends from the Ramayana.

The temple has a tranquil ambiance, and the main idol of Lord Hanuman in the basement exudes divinity. The maharaj's (priests) are friendly, knowledgeable, and well-organized, guiding devotees with dedication and care.

A unique aspect of the temple is the belief that offering saffron (kesar) and coconuts to the deity brings blessings and fulfills prayers. Many devotees offer chola (sacred cloth) mixed with saffron and ghee as part of their rituals.

Tuesdays and Saturdays are particularly special, with vibrant pujas and rituals that draw large gatherings of devotees. Despite the crowds, the temple maintains its serene and spiritual charm.

This temple is a must-visit for those seeking peace, blessings, and a connection to history. It offers a truly divine and fulfilling experience.

🙏 Jai Shri Ram🙏
