On the south-eastern edge of Lakhota Lake stands the famous Bala Hanuman Temple, known worldwide for its continuous chanting of “Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram.” The temple hall stays filled with devotees, bhajan groups and the rhythmic sound of the Ram dhun, especially powerful in the evenings when the lakefront lights up. From outside, you get pretty views of Ranmal Talav, while inside the atmosphere is simple, devotional and very local Gujarati. For Ghoomein users, this is a must-add spiritual highlight: Lakhota photo walk + Bala Hanuman evening aarti + Ram dhun experience.
