Tulsi Manas Temple

Tulsi Manas Temple stands at the exact spot where the poet-saint Goswami Tulsidas composed the Ramcharitmanas in 1574 — one of Hindi literature's greatest epics, beloved by hundreds of millions. The current white marble temple (1964) has the complete text of Ramcharitmanas inscribed on its walls — a unique and moving sight.

🙏 Religious Significance

Reading the Ramcharitmanas inscribed on the temple walls is considered equivalent to a complete recitation of the entire text. Tulsidas is said to have received a vision of Lord Ram here — the experience that inspired him to write the Ramcharitmanas. The temple contains a mechanical diorama (string puppets) re-enacting scenes from the Ramayana, beloved by children and adults alike.
