History & significance

A Hindu temple in Soldier Bazaar, Karachi, holding a 2.5-metre five-faced Hanuman image and protected as a national heritage site under the Sindh Cultural Heritage (Preservation) Act of 1994. Renovation begun in 2012 and further work in 2019 uncovered more centuries-old statuary at the site.

Sthala katha — the legend

Devotees hold that Rama visited this spot during his exile and that the Hanuman image here was divinely revealed rather than made by human hands.
