 Sati Anusuya wife of Sage Atri is one of the pativradha well known for the following story. To test her pativradha all the teen murthis- Bhrama Vishnu and siva came to her and said she has to hug each of them with the condition that all of them will be naked.  She immediately said yes.  All the three of were taken aback   she with her divine powers changed all the three of them into babies and hugged them.  She kept the 3 babies with her in the ashram. She through her husband's divine power she got a river from padallog  to flow close to the ashram.  As this was possible due to Mann ki ischa so it is called as Mandakini.

The Bade Hanuman Temple

Image
After finishing The snan at Triveni Sangam you return to the Yamuna Ghat and the next place to visit is the Bade Hanuman Temple or the Lete Hanuman Temple.  Yes we always see Hanuman in a standing position or carrying the Sanjeev parvathy or sitting near Rama, here he is in a lying position and believe me he is huge.  The crowd is also huge carrying flowers sweets etc.   You need to climb down the steps to have his darshsan.  Really a sight to see too. As usual here is the write up from Wikipedia and other sources.. 500 metres north of Prayagraj Fort , there lies a renowned religious site - Bade Hanuman Ji Temple. Also called Lete Hanuman Mandir, the shrine is an underground pit which houses an enormous image of Lord Hanuman in a lying position. This is the only Lord Hanuman temple in the world the idol in reclining position. Another interesting thing to know about this popular Hindu temple in Prayagraj, is that one side of Lord Hanuman’s statue is half immersed...
