Introduction

The Swambhu Narichaniya Hanumanji Temple is a symbol of devotion, miracles, and unwavering faith. With a history spanning 750 years and the grand celebration of the Bhadrava Sud Bij Fair, this sacred place blesses thousands of devotees each year.
History
The temple was established around 750 years ago. On the auspicious day of Bhadrava Sud Bij, a farmer was plowing his field when his plow hit a hard object. Upon inspection, he found a small idol of Hanumanji hidden inside a pot buried in the soil. This miraculous event spread devotion throughout the village, and the idol was enshrined in a small temple.
Over the years, the tiny idol — initially the size of a grain of rice — gradually began to grow. This miraculous phenomenon deepened the faith of the people, and eventually a grand temple was constructed to honor Swambhu Hanumanji.
