Our team visited on a early morning . From outset - temple seemed to be recently constructed . Entrance was straight forward and we could directly get a glimpse of the Idol. The Idol's outset clearly indicated it is existing since ages. Priest & Devotees believe it may be at-least 500 years old. Lord Hanuman is worshiped here under the name Varadanjaneya which means one who offers a boon and fulfills it. The idol has carving of Hanuman who is in standing position , with his face towards left and right hand over the head facing front with blessing / boon position which is unique. Temple attracts regular devotees who conduct Bhajans , prayers , programs here occasionally. It also houses a compound for Banayan tree and Tulasi plant which is worshiped by the community.

Temple is open between morning 7.00 AM to 10.30 AM and in the evening between 5.PM to 7.30 PM . Overall a nice spot to visit with your family on a weekend. There is lot for entertainment & shopping around to make your visit happier. Do share your visit experience.
