Mahavir Mandir

Mahavir Mandir, one of the leading Lord Hanuman Temples in India, is located at Patna city in the Indian state of Bihar. It is situated in the north of Patna Junction, main railway station of the city which is one of the busiest railway stations in India.

From the scrutiny of historical facts and traditions it appears that this temple was originally established by Swami Balanand, an ascetic of RAMANANDI-SADHU sect in around year 1730.

The main temple has got two idols of Hanumanji one for परित्राणाय साधूनाम् i.e. for the protection of good people and another for विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् i.e. for the elimination of the wicked persons.

Upon arriving Patna by train one happens to see the Mahavir Mandir. Just yards away from the northern entrance of the railway station, the famous Mahavir Hanumanji Mandir is situated and Lord Ganesha in association with Lord Buddha blesses the onlookers. Also, the holy words taken from Sundar Kand (Ramcharitmanas) written by Goswami Tulsidas, “Prabisi Nagar Keejai Sab Kaaja, Hriday Rakhi Koshalpur Raaja (प्रबिसि नगर कीजै सब काजा, हृदय राखि कोसलपुर राजा)”, are inscribed thereon as if God Mahavir hanuman himself is blessing people and welcoming them for their success.

Daily thousands of devotees throng the temple and get solace from the worship of Mahavir Hanumanji. It is a ‘manokamana’ mandir where devotees’ every wish is fulfilled and this is the reason for ever-increasing number of devotees in the temple.
