Shri
Bhakta
Hanuman
Temple
is
built
by
Chinmaya
Mission
of
Sri
Lanka.
Located
in
Ramboda
on
Kandy-Nuwara
Eliya
Road
located
approximately
30
odd
kilometers
North
of
Nuwara
Eliya
on
A-5
route
facing
the
Kotmale
Reservoir.
The
Chinmaya
Mission
is
a
Hindu
spiritual
organization
engaged
in
the
dissemination
of
Vedanta,
the
science
of
the
self
as
expounded
in
the
Vedas,
particularly
the
Upanishads,
and
other
important
Hindu
scriptures
including
the
Bhagavad
Gita.
The
Chinmaya
Mission
was
established
in
India
in
1953
by
devotees
of
the
renowned
Vedanta
teacher
Swami
Chinmayananda.
The
temple
itself
is
situated
about
500m
from
the
main
road
on
a
hill
having
a
commanding
view
of
the
surrounding
area.
Legend
has
it
that
king
Ravana
has
hid
Sita
in
this
area
at
one
time
and
and
Hanuman
come
to
this
area
in
search
of
her.
A
good
tar
road
connects
the
temple
and
the
main
road
.
Three
wheelers
are
normally
available
to
take
you
from
main
road
to
the
temple
&
back.
The
temple
is
not
too
big
nor
very
ornately
decorated.
The
surrounding
garden
area
of
the
kovil
is
spotlessly
clean
and
well
maintained
by
the
mission.
The
idol
of
Hanuman
is
of
black
granite
and
it
is
carved
beautifully
and
stands
tall
at
16
feet.
You
are
not
permitted
to
photograph
the
idol.
There
is
also
an
ashram
containing
about
16
rooms,
with
room
names
based
on
characters
on
the
Ramayan
–
Vibheeshan,
Jambavan,
Sugriva,
etc…
A
well
maintained
vegetarian
restaurant
is
maintained
at
the
temple.
From
the
location
of
the
temple
one
can
see
the
Kotmale
Reservoir
and
the
entire
Kotmale
Valley
.
The
view
is
simply
breathtaking.
Even
if
you
are
not
a
religious
person
visit
to
this
place
is
strongly
recommended
just
for
the
scenic
beauty
and
the
awesome
view
one
gets
from
this
place.
If
you
are
not
appropriately
dressed,
you
will
not
be
allowed
to
enter
the
temple.
If
you
are
visiting
Ramboda
falls,
you
can
plan
a
visit
to
this
temple.
