Really a peaceful & Astha filled temple. Gives strength & courage. Stayed for a while. No issue of Panda.came out with better state of mind. Only issue of keeping your shoes at the stand Though it is free but some charges are taken. anyhow poor guy so no issue.

Mainly dedicated to Lord Hanuman, this temple has many smaller shrines and idols of various other deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Rama, Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Durga etc. Sant Ramlochan Brahmachari laid its foundation in 1958 and installed the idol of Lord Hanuman. in 1973. He single-handedly erected the entire structure by collecting donations from the residents of Prayagraj. He used to walk either on foot or by bicycle. Shri Hanumat Niketan Temple, spread over three and a half acres of land, is a vast and integrated complex of temples, gymnasium, yogaalaya, library, reading room, Veda Bhavan, guest house and a museum of arms. The construction of the entire complex was completed by 1974. Thus, the present form of this beautiful and grand temple complex can easily be called a one-man show.

Nice place for worship in Prayagraj. It is located in Civil Lines, the heart of the city. The main deity of this temple is Lord Hanuman. There are idols of Maa Jagdamba, Ram Durbar, Shiv Parivar, Maa Saraswati and Radha-Krishna also.

It used to be very clean and well-managed temples earlier. It had a well managed library and yoga hall which are not very active now. But off-late, its management has worsened. It is neither as clean as yester-years nor is it as maintained as being maintained earlier. Plasters are falling off from many locations.

Earlier there was only one sweet shop inside the campus. But now there are many.

Overall a must visit place in Prayagraj.
