Architecture
It is believed that once the merchant was carrying Hanuman Ji's grand statue from his boat. When he reached near Prayag with his boat, his boat slowly started getting heavier and reached near Sangam and got immersed in the water of Ganga Ji. After sometime, when the water stream of Ganga Ji changed some way so the idol appeared. The temple was established at the same place. In the sanctum of the temple, the statue of Hanuman is situated, which is 8 to 10 feet below the temple.
Religious Significance
The history of the idol of Shri Bade Hanumanji, situated at the Sangam Kshetra of Prayag is very unique. In the city of Kannauj a very rich but issueless trader was living. He had a great storage of money and material and had all the enjoyments of life, But unfortunately that trader had no issue. This trader went towards the hills of Vindhychal to construct a temple of Hanuman Ji to fulfil his wish of getting a son. In the chain of hills of Vindhyachal that trader had constructed a huge statue of Hanuman Ji out of stone. He decided to bathe that statue of Hanuman Ji at many places of pilgrimage. While bathing this statue of Hanuman Ji at various Teerthsthals, he ultimately arrived at Sangam Kshetra of Prayag. While he was taking rest in the night he dreamt that if he leaves this statue at this holy place his all the wishes and hankerings will be fulfilled. At the dawn of the day he decided to work on the lines of the previous night dream. Thus leaving that statue at Prayag Kshetra that rich trader left for his city Kannauj. As the time passed that rich trader got a son born to his wife by the kindness of Shri Bade Hanuman Ji and all his wishes were also fulfilled.
Another internal story about the Shri Vigrah of Shri bade Hanuman Ji is also prevalent. It is said that when the pinancing Mahatma Shri Balgiri Ji Maharaj got that statue of Shri Bade Hanuman Ji he made efforts to bring that statue in a standing posture but even after trying much hard, he was unable succeed. After it the statue of Shri Bade Hanuman Ji was tried to be laid in the fort. After many abortive efforts the devotees were unable to remove the same from that place. It is said that when the effort were made to bring the statue in standing position or to remove it to instal in the Fort the statue itself got stuck inside. Thus it was believed that Shri Bade Hanuman Ji did not want to be removed from that particular place then all the efforts to remove the same were stopped. Consequently the statue of Shri Bade Hanuman Jee was left at the place where it was Found by Shri Balgiri Ji Maharaj.
History
The temple was built 600-700 years ago. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb heard about this temple and came here and ordered his soldiers to throw away the statue. When the soldiers were engaged in lifting the statue, Baba Balgiri mind started to pray to Hanuman Ji Maharaj by mourning his mind. Then Hanuman Ji Maharaj showed great miracles and as soon as the military tried to lift the statue, the statue haven't moved an inch. This trend continued for several days and in the end, Balgiri Baba cursed all the soldiers and went away himself and performed austerity under the banyan tree. Due to the curse the entire Mughal army became diseased. Then the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb got frightened and Baba went to Balgiri and started apologizing and said Baba, please forgive us we believe in the miracle of this temple. We will not touch this temple and bless our soldiers today.
