| Sri Varadanjaneya Temple - Tulasi |
Our team visited on a early morning . From outset - temple seemed to be recently constructed . Entrance was straight forward and we could directly get a glimpse of the Idol. The Idol's outset clearly indicated it is existing since ages. Priest & Devotees believe it may be at-least 500 years old. Lord Hanuman is worshiped here under the name Varadanjaneya which means one who offers a boon and fulfills it. The idol has carving of Hanuman who is in standing position , with his face towards left and right hand over the head facing front with blessing / boon position which is unique. Temple attracts regular devotees who conduct Bhajans , prayers , programs here occasionally. It also houses a compound for Banayan tree and Tulasi plant which is worshiped by the community.
