Hanuman Theertham

Hanuman Theertham is a Hindu temple and sacred water body located near Uthangarai in Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu. Dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the site centers on a theertham (temple tank) traditionally believed to have been created by Hanuman. Set in a rural landscape on the outskirts of Uthangarai town, it is visited by devotees for prayer and ritual bathing. The temple is a local pilgrimage spot known for its religious association and quiet surroundings.

Visitors can expect a small rural temple complex with a central shrine dedicated to Hanuman and an adjacent sacred tank or spring known as the theertham. The setting is open and quiet, surrounded by agricultural fields and village roads. Devotees offer prayers, circumambulate the shrine, and view the water body. Facilities are basic. The atmosphere is devotional and calm, suitable for short prayer visits and photography of the temple structure and tank.

Local tradition associates the theertham with the Ramayana period, believing Hanuman created the water source. The temple reflects longstanding Hanuman worship in the Krishnagiri region, though detailed epigraphical or dynastic construction history is not widely documented in official sources.

The site holds religious importance for devotees of Hanuman, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays and during Hanuman Jayanti. The theertham is considered sacred for prayers and ritual bathing, representing faith in Hanuman's strength and devotion.
