Hundreds of devotees gathered at the historic Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi for a grand Sunderkand recital, seeking the blessings of Lord Hanuman.
The historic Sankat Mochan Temple, founded by the revered saint Goswami Tulsidas, echoed with the melodious and rhythmic recitation of the 'Sunderkand' from the Ramcharitmanas.
