New Tent: ‘

A large orange and yellow tent (mandap) is put up over the temple. This will give shade to the devotees from the hot sun.

Why is Dutondya Maruti Special?

“Dutondya” means two faces. This idol has faces on both sides. One side shows Lord Hanuman standing with folded hands. The other side shows his strong form stepping on a demon.

This idol is very important to the people of Nashik. It stands right on the banks of the Godavari River. In the rainy season, the water level on this idol tells the city if there is a flood.
