Hanuman Temple

"manojapam marutha thulyavegam

jithendriyam budhimaatham varishtam

vaathatmajam vanaraayutha mukhyam

srirama dhuutham shirasa namami"

I first went to the PMG Hanuman temple (near Vikas Bhavan and Kerala Legislative Assembly building) during my school days. I used to offer my prayers at the temple, every Thursday during my Pre-degree and MBBS days. The temple used to be a small one during those days; but it has expanded and changed tremendously over the last 10 years and has grown into one of the most important places of worship in Trivandrum.

The Temple was consecrated for the benefit of the soldiers (of Travancore army)to offer prayers in the 1850's. The main offerings are 'vadamala', 'vettamala' and cheese. Pushpabhishekham is also a "nercha" (an offering).
