If we look back into the history of the Karmanghat Hanuman temple, it is believed to date back to the twelfth century. He was very tired and found a lush green tree suitable for rest. As he sat under the tree, he heard continuous chanting of Lord Rama’s name. He was very surprised about it. While searching the source of chanting, he found a beautiful idol made from stone. It was a Hanumana idol in the sitting posture. The chanting was coming from it. He was quite amazed with the scene and paid his respect towards the idol. He saw a dream in the night in which Lord Hanumana ordered him to construct a temple.
