Hanuman Garhi, Nainital is a temple of Lord Hanuman in the hill station of Nainital, India. [1][2] It was built by local saint, Neem Karoli Baba.[3] He first visited the site in 1950 when it was a graveyard for children and avoided by locals. There, with the help of some devotees, they established a small kutiya (hut) and a small idol of Hanuman. In 1953, a large Hanuman statue was established, and in Shiv temple came up in 1957.[1][3]

The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Hanuman, the vanara god of the Ramayana, and he is depicted tearing open his chest to reveal Rama and Sita in his heart.
