In the heart of New Delhi, at Connaught Place, stands an ancient Hanuman temple revered as one of the oldest shrines of the city, its origins traced in tradition to the age of the Mahabharata and the five temples said to have been established by the Pandavas. The self-manifested image of Hanuman is worshipped with deep devotion, and the temple is famed for the unbroken chanting of the Rama name (akhand Ram naam) that has continued here for decades.
Uniquely crowned by a crescent-moon finial, the temple draws great crowds, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays. This Hanuman temple is among the most cherished and historic shrines of the capital.
