Hanuman Dandi Temple
હનુમાન દાંડી
A temple at the eastern tip of Beyt Dwarka Island that rarely honours both Hanuman and his son Makardhwaj.
Hanuman Dandi Temple sits at the eastern tip of Beyt Dwarka Island, about 5 km from the main temple. It is one of the few temples in India to honour both Hanuman and his son Makardhwaj, and legend holds that this is where father and son met. There is a sacred water tank beside the temple and lodging for pilgrims, and the surrounding coastline is quiet and rarely crowded. Admission is free. It can be reached by island tuk-tuk or by car, and it suits a stop after visiting the main temple.
