Architecture

A legend goes that the temple is named after an ardent devotee of Lord Hanumana, Swami Balbhadra Das, who was dudh-ahari, meaning he survived on milk alone. It is said that a cow called Surhi used to bathe the idol here in its milk and Lord Hanuman's devotee used to drink that milk as prasad (divine offering). That is how he acquired the title dudh-ahari. Temple premisis there is a huge pond name Maharajband Talab. Beautifully engraved scenes from Ramayana and stunning murals and intricate carvings of the temple walls.

Religious Significance

As per legends Sree Swami Balabhadradas Ji Maharaj used to survive only on milk and hence came to be popularly known as Dudh Ahari Maharaj (one who consumes only milk). With the passage of time, for the sake of ease of pronunciation, the term evolved as Dudhdhari. The Math thus takes the name Dudhdhari Math.

History

Built by Kalchuri ruler Jait Singh in the 17th century.
