Pracheen Hanuman Mandir, Connaught Place

This guide to Pracheen Hanuman Mandir in Connaught Place, Delhi traces the crescent moon crowning a Hindu temple spire back to the poet-saint Tulsidas, who was summoned by a Mughal emperor and commanded to prove his faith with a miracle. It follows the temple's claimed lineage to the Pandavas of the Mahabharata and its rebuilding under two Rajput maharajas before Connaught Place's colonnades rose around it. Look up at the crescent before you step inside.
