Dudhadhari Hanuman Temple is located in front of the Balaji
Mandir at Dudhadhari Ashram in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Sankata Mochan Hanuman
Mandir is unique as Hanuman murti is seen with a turned face. The murti
worshipped in the temple originally belonged to Sant Dudhadhari.
Legend has it that Dudhadhari Hanuman Temple existed before the
Balaji Mandir. Few days after Balaji temple was constructed a miracle happened.
Hanuman who is an ardent devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ram turned
his face to see Sri Balaji and the body remained in the same way. The doors of
the temple are facing towards the Balaji Mandir because a devotee can get
glimpse of the face of Hanuman only from here. The stairs to approach the
shrine are from north.
Thousands of devotes visit the Dudhadhari Ashram and the Sankata
Mochan Hanuman Mandir daily.
