In Ujjain, devotees are preparing to relocate the standing Lord Hanuman statue so that its face turns north, a change believed to bring spiritual benefits.
Ujjain, one of India’s most revered pilgrimage cities, is set to alter the orientation of its iconic standing Lord Hanuman statue.
The statue, which currently faces south, is a focal point for devotees who gather to offer prayers and seek blessings.
Relocation plans aim to reposition the deity so that it faces north, a direction considered auspicious in Vedic astrology. Many believers believe that this shift will enhance the spiritual energy of the temple and bring greater blessings to worshippers.
Temple authorities have announced that the move will take place in the coming weeks, with a formal re‑dedication ceremony scheduled thereafter.
