Sree Veera Hanuman Temple — Attraction in Kuala Lumpur

Sree Veera Hanuman Temple is the kind of place that makes you stop, blink, and remember that some humans still make things that actually take your breath away. Hundreds of Hanuman statues, carved with obsessive care, line the walls. Some are tiny, some monumental, and one has a green tail that coils around the gopuram like it’s trying to strangle the sky, 41 spirals, 17 feet tall. That tail alone is worth a stop on any KL itinerary.

The architecture is over the top in all the right ways. Ceilings are covered in hand-painted murals depicting Hanuman’s epic adventures—lifting mountains, capturing demons, saving brothers, and generally looking heroic while every devotee in the room tries not to trip over their own feet. The attention to detail is insane, a wood-and-stone labour of love that makes one wonder how much patience humans actually have. It’s peaceful, it’s chaotic, it’s mesmerising, and yes, it’s crowded, especially on Thursdays and Saturdays.

The temple is not just about sightseeing. Devotees come for blessings, for black-magic antidotes, for protection, and occasionally, to pray that a reckless sports car ride doesn’t end in disaster. Stories abound of miracles, of answered prayers, of people finding jobs, health, and a little clarity under Hanuman’s watchful eye. The priests are South Indian, strict but kind, and the rituals are observed with the same precision as a Michelin-starred kitchen, minus the fried chicken.

Sun Wukong keeps an eye on the entrance, and 1,008 tiny Hanumans silently promise aid to those who earn it. Yes, Sun Wukong—the Monkey King from Chinese mythology—gets a cameo in this temple, standing at the entrance, posed atop a mystical cloud with his magical staff. Accessibility is good, even for the disabled. If you’re wearing shorts, they’ll hand over a scarf so you don’t offend anyone.

It’s not all perfection: parking? Prepare to fight for it. Some priests can be rough around the edges, crowd control is a mess, and the temple can feel dim in parts. But the beauty, power, and sheer weirdness of it all make those complaints tiny in comparison. Visitors will leave feeling a little lighter, a little braver, and maybe a bit dizzy from the...

Family and I used to go to this then serene Hanuman temple years ago. In spite of its run-down state then and space limitation, earnest & sincere devotees used to be at the temple without fail and we meditate peacefully after prayers in spite of crowd then. Now with the new temple up - just walking into the temple on a quiet day is an uplifting experience; the structure, intricate workmanship, the aura of His holy presence is incredibly amazing. This auspicious and holy place does not need decadent, loud rowdy music blasting away to mark His presence, or loud blasting sounds of drums and music early morning and into late night. Just left alone by the seemingly over-zealous commitee, the true devotees will be there, His presence will draw them. Instead now it has become like a freak- show temple that all come to ogle at and auspicuoisness lost. The commitee does not also seem competent at all in managing traffic issues it is creating, has no respect for other temples nearby with blasting music and no compassion/care either for residents nearby (what more of other religious faiths). Are these temple commitee people truly devotees? A sorry state of affairs.

Keeping fingers crossed that Hindu Sangam steps in to guide them to run affairs in a respectful way and if that fails, then local authorities step in to impose restrictions and conditions. Nearby, the Murugan temple is doing a great dignified job - so maybe learn from them. Jai Hanuman! May...

This temple is a place where all my wishes have come true. It has divine energy that would 100% give you goosebumps. This Hanuman temple is placed along with a few other temples that carry the same energy where I receive peace of mind. I've been there multiple times before the pandemic, and once after the "lockdown phase," when the temple wasn't fully renovated yet.

To those of you who would love to pay a visit. My tips for you to go on weekdays to avoid crowd & parking space being full.

Many visit this temple almost every day to date, so going there in the morning before 8.30 am is much more comfortable for me as I could pray and sit down at the temple for a few minute.

Now, since it's fully renovated, I'm sure there are ample of space yet, I'm sure the crowd remains for the power the Lord Hanuman carries.

Archanai is between Rm2-Rm5. Lighting a lamp is Rm2. Buying garlands and flowers are given there with trays (please pass them back).

There are many restaurants just near the temple where you can have your breakfast right after your temple visit. There are also lots of wedding invitations designers you along those restaurants.

That's all guys. May all your good wishes come true. Stay...
