A Hanuman temple on the southeast shore of Lakhota Lake. Since 1964, devotees have chanted Lord Rama's name day and night without pause, a record recognised by Guinness.
Bala Hanuman Temple sits on the southeastern shore of Lakhota Lake. It is not large, but it is famous for its non-stop chanting. Since 1 August 1964, devotees have taken turns chanting 'Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram' day and night without a break, a record recognised by Guinness World Records. Whenever you walk in, you'll hear drums, cymbals and chanting, and it is busiest in the evening. Shoes must be removed on entry, dress should be modest, and admission is free. The temple connects with the Lakhota Lake promenade, so you can visit both together.
