Bedi Hanuman Temple presents one of the most unique representations of Lord Hanuman in India, where the deity is depicted in a reclining (lying down) position rather than the traditional standing posture. This extraordinary temple is believed to serve as the divine protector of Puri city and Jagannath Temple from natural calamities, particularly cyclones and sea storms. The reclining Hanuman is said to create a protective shield around the coastal city. Devotees believe that Hanuman lies down to guard the city continuously, and his presence has protected Puri from major natural disasters. The temple attracts visitors intrigued by this unique representation and those seeking protection and blessings. The peaceful atmosphere and distinctive spiritual significance make it an important stop for pilgrims visiting Puri.
