There are places where time slows down. Where the clamor of the world fades into silence, and all that remains is the sound of your breath, your heartbeat — and the name of Ram echoing through the air.
Hanuman Garhi in Ayodhya is one such place.
Nestled atop a small hill, not far from the sacred Ram Janmabhoomi, this ancient temple isn’t just a structure of stone and faith — it’s a living memory of unwavering devotion. It is believed that Hanuman ji himself guarded this land, watching over Lord Ram’s birthplace from a cave that still stirs with quiet power.
If you’re planning to come here in 2025, know this: you’re not just checking off a destination — you’re entering a story, centuries old.
A story that will, in some way, begin to include you too.
The Magic of Hanuman Garhi
There’s something deeply moving about this temple. Maybe it’s the climb up the stone steps — each one feeling like a step closer to something sacred. Maybe it’s the idol inside: a child Hanuman in the lap of his mother Anjani, an image so rare and tender, it softens even the hardest hearts.
Or maybe… it’s simply the feeling that you’ve been here before, even if it’s your first time. That your soul recognizes the place before your eyes do.

Aarti — When Earth Meets Heaven
You may forget names, places, even the roads that brought you here —
but the sound of the aarti, you’ll carry it forever.
At dawn and dusk, the air around Hanuman Garhi transforms. The morning aarti bathes the temple in soft golden light, with chants rising like the first breath of the day. The evening aarti, under Ayodhya’s glowing skies, wraps the whole place in a divine stillness.
- Morning Aarti: 5:30 AM
- Evening Aarti: 6:00 PM
These are not just rituals — they are moments when your prayers become sound, your hopes become firelight, and your soul bows on its own.
When to Visit in 2025 – Let the Seasons Guide You
Ayodhya embraces you in every season, but each has its own flavor of devotion:
October to March — A Festive Embrace
Cool breezes, early sunrises, and festivals like Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, and Diwali make these months full of spiritual color.
April to June — Quiet Solitude
Even as the sun beats down, the temple offers a rare peace. Early mornings are beautiful. The crowd is thinner. The silence speaks louder.
July to September — Monsoon Whispers
Ayodhya glistens in the rain. The smell of wet earth, the ringing temple bells, and the sound of Ram Naam on every tongue — it’s an experience soaked in love and longing.
Gentle Guidance for Your Visit
- Come early — not just for darshan, but to feel the temple wake up
- Don’t rush — take time to sit, breathe, listen
- Wear traditional, respectful clothing — not for rules, but for reverence
- Avoid photography inside — let your heart be the camera
- Talk to locals or a guide — some stories can’t be found on the internet
Combine your visit with other nearby sacred spots — Ram Janmabhoomi, Kanak Bhawan, Nageshwarnath Temple. Ayodhya isn’t a place — it’s a journey within.
Where to Stay — Peace Within Reach
You don’t need luxury here. You need peace. And that, you’ll find easily:
- Ramprastha Hotel
- Shri Ram Hotel
- Birla Dharamshala
- Ayodhya Dham Tourist Guest House
All just a short walk or rickshaw ride from the temple.
Why Hanuman Garhi Will Stay With You
There’s a belief that whatever you ask with a true heart at Hanuman Garhi… Bajrangbali listens. He may not answer in words, but you’ll feel his strength in your steps, his protection in your journey, and his blessings in your silence.
You won’t just visit Hanuman Garhi in 2025 —
you’ll remember it every time life gets heavy, and you whisper his name for strength.
A Final Note from One Devotee to Another
Come to Ayodhya with your doubts, your wishes, your stories — and leave them at Hanuman ji’s feet.
Come empty.
Leave full.
May your path be guided by grace, your heart lit by devotion, and your life protected by Sankat Mochan himself.
Jai Hanuman! Jai Shri Ram!
