Mytholigical History:
This temple is considered to be at least 600-700 years old. It is said that the king of Kannauj had no children. His guru said as a solution, 'Get a statue made of Hanumanji who had gone to the underworld to free Ram Lakshman from the snake noose. This idol of Hanumanji should be made and brought from Vindhyachal mountain. When the king of Kannauj did the same and brought the idol of Hanumanji from Vindhyachal by boat. Then suddenly the boat broke and the statue got submerged. The king was very sad to see this and returned back to his kingdom. Many years after this incident, when the water level of Ganga decreased, Ram devotee Baba Balgiri Maharaj, who was trying to install Dhuni there, found this statue. Then after that, the temple was constructed by the king there.
Hanumanji is another name for a miracle. The name of Bajrangbali has been associated with miracles since ancient times. Whether it is to get the darshan of Ram-Janaki sitting in the chest or to bring Sanjeevani herb to revive Lakshmanji. Not only the mythological period but also the Kaliyuga is adorned with the miracles of Hanumanji. There are ancient miraculous temples of Hanumanji in many places in our country. One of these is the temple of Hanuman lying on the banks of the Sangam. In this unique temple, the idol of Hanumanji is not in a standing position but in a lying position. After all, what is the reason that Hanumanji is lying here? It is said about this temple situated on the banks of Sangam that if you do not visit here after taking a bath in Sangam, then the bath is considered incomplete.
Such is the belief here: It is believed that this strange statue of Hanumanji is south-facing and 20 feet long. It is believed that it is at least 6-7 feet below the surface. In Sangam City, he is known as Bade Hanumanji, Fort Hanumanji, Lete Hanumanji, and Dam Hanumanji. It is believed about this statue that Kamada Devi is buried under her left foot and Ahiravan is buried under her right foot. Ram-Lakshman is adorned in his right hand and mace in his left hand. Bajrangbali fulfills the wishes of all the devotees who come here.
That's why Hanumanji lay here: It is said about this place that when Hanumanji was returning after conquering Lanka, he started feeling tired on the way. So on the advice of Mother Sita, he lay down here on the banks of the Sangam. Keeping this in mind, a temple of Hanumanji lying here was built.
Mughal soldiers could not move the statue: In ancient times, demolition of Hindu temples was going on on the orders of Mughal rulers, but here the Mughal soldiers could not even move the statue of Hanumanji. As they tried to lift the statue, it was sinking deeper into the earth. This is the reason why this statue is built so low from the ground.
