Objective 1: To learn about Ghat Ke Balaji Temple.

Holy origins:
Believed to be a swayambhu (self-manifested) deity of Lord Hanuman, the deity faces south and is known locally as ‘Ghat Ke Balaji’ due to its origins among the historic water-logged ghats created by nearby valleys and ponds

Objective 2: To know about the Architecture of Ghat Ke Temple.

Majestic haveli style:
The temple’s pink sandstone façade, arched entrances, pillared prayer hall, mezzanine with heritage ceiling paintings, and jharokhas echo the grandeur of Jaipur’s royal haveli architecture

Sanctum details:
Housing the south-facing Hanuman deity, the sanctum is flanked by smaller shrines—a Shiva temple to the right, Panch-Ganesh carvings, plus additional niches for Ram-Sita and Shaligram—integrated within the main complex

Natural amphitheater:
Built into the valley, the temple opens up toward former ghats and serene greenery, creating a reflective, open-air experience.

Objective 3: To learn about the Cultural Practices followed.

Sawa Mani Prasad:
A custom where devotees, upon fulfilment of a wish, offer a 46.65 kg grain offering to Hanuman, served as communal prasad—a deeply local tradition.
