Information on Godavari Dham Kota-

The complete name of the temple is Shri Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir, Godavari Dham but it is now famous by the name of Godavari Dham.

The entrance to the temple complex is through a huge gateway with two arches and kiosks at the top of the arches. The main temple has two sanctums with white towers over them. The first sanctum has the idol of Balaji in a standing posture.

The second sanctum houses the idols of Lord Ram, Lakshman, and Goddess Sita and is situated just opposite to Lord Balaji’s idol. Thus, the two face each other every time and this is a perfect depiction of the strong bonds of Hanuman Ji with Lord Ram.

The idol of Lord Hanuman Ji is about 5 feet high with a mallet (gada) in a hand and the Rudraksha garland in the neck. The idol is said to be miraculous as it drives away all the pains of its true devotees.

Main Idol Image Source

It is believed that the idol was earlier located deep inside the River Chambal, and then Lord Hanuman himself asked saint Gopinath Bhargav, in his dream, to establish it in a temple. So, the sage did the same with the help of his disciples.

People from different parts of the city and state reach this temple to offer their prayers of true belief to Lord Hanumanji or Balaji.

Large sitting space is present between the two sanctums which is used by devotees to sit and dedicate their prayers by reciting Hanuman Chalisa and other hymns.

On the two special days of Ramnavami and Hanuman Jayanti, the idol is decorated to its extreme elegance with gold ornaments that weigh 25 grams.
A small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and his family is also located on the backside of the main temple.
