Panki Hanuman Temple, officially known as Panki Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir, is one of the most sacred and spiritually powerful temples in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Dedicated to Lord Hanuman in his rare Panchmukhi (five-faced) form, the temple stands as a symbol of faith, protection, courage, and unwavering devotion. Every year, lakhs of devotees from Kanpur and neighboring districts visit this holy site to seek blessings and spiritual strength.
The temple is believed to be over 400 years old. According to popular belief, a revered saint had a divine vision at this very spot, where a natural rock formation resembled the face of Lord Hanuman. Interpreting this as a celestial sign, the saint established the temple, which later grew into one of North India’s most visited Hanuman shrines.
Over centuries, the temple has survived time, transformations, and urban expansion, yet it continues to retain its ancient spiritual aura. Generations of devotees consider Panki Hanuman Mandir a Siddh Peeth—a place where sincere prayers are believed to be fulfilled.
