Jamnagar
is
home
to
one
of
the
most
under
hyped
temples
in
Gujarat,
considering
its
significance.
Jamnagar
is
home
to
many
such
temples
and
so
the
name
for
the
city:
Chhoti
Kaashi.
Architecturally,
the
Balahanuman
Temple
is
great
marvel
will
not
send
any
designers
running
for
cameras.
It
has
a
simple
layout
but
it’s
this
very
simplicity
that
makes
it
engaging,
without
any
commercial
trappings
seen
in
some
of
the
popular
temples.
With
a
continuous
chanting
of
the
Ram
Dhun
for
over
57
years
now,
since
1964,
it
has
also
an
entry
in
The
Guinness
Book
of
Records,
with
the
Ram
Dhun
(“Shree
Ram
Jaya
Ram
Jay
Jay
Ram”)
being
chanted
continually
for
24
hours,
seven
days
a
week
without
break,
all
these
years.
At
night,
one
can
hear
the
chants
several
kilometres
away
and
that
soothing
and
pleasing
to
the
ears.
Generally
open
for
24
hours,
it
has
now
restricted
timings.
The
good
part
of
this
Mandir
is
that
it’s
clean
and
none
of
the
sadhus/vendors
pester
you.
The
semi-open
plan
makes
it
ideal
for
a
visit
as
it’s
well
ventilated.
The
straightforward
exterior
is
more
than
compensated
by
its
location
near
The
Lakota
Talav
and
the
museum
which
is
one
of
the
most
serene
places
in
Jamnagar.
The
lake
is
always
decked
up
like
a
“dulhan”
and
at
night,
the
ambience
can
be
heady
and
mesmerising.
There
is
nothing
more
satisfying
post
a
good
Darshan
than
to
stroll
in
the
clean
paths
that
surround
the
temple.
