Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Hindu temple in Varanasi, India
The temple complex spreads across 8.5 acres, with the main shrine occupying 2 acres and the remaining area containing forest land.
The temple was constructed in 1900 by Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of Banaras Hindu University, near Durga Temple and New Vishwanath Temple.
The temple holds annual music festivals in April, attracting musicians and artists from various regions to perform traditional devotional songs and classical compositions.
The temple opens from 4:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with special ceremonies on Tuesdays and Saturdays drawing thousands of devotees.
