The Sankat Mochan temple is another famous pilgrimage, dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It lies 4 km from the ghats and can be easily accessed by a rickshaw. This is the same place where the creator of Ramcharitamanas, Tulsi Das envisioned Hanuman and built a temple for him. Hundreds of monkeys liven the temple, which does not promise architectural excellence, but a strong spiritual hook. Tuesdays and Saturdays are especially crowded when parts of Ramcharitamanas are recited at the temple. Photography allowed only outside the temple.Sankat Mochan
