History
In medieval times when the region where this mandir is situated was won by Mughal, the mandir was destroyed. It is said that however the Murti was saved and some people successfully kept it hidden for lots of years. In 1960's some people started the movement to relocate the Murti at its original location. They built a mandir made up of marbal stones.[1]
Folklore
According to a folklore, in ancient times the Khuldabad was known as Bhadravati and the ruler was a noble king named Bhadrasena, who was an ardent devotee of Rama and used to sing songs in His praise. One day Hanumanji descended in the place, listening to the devotional songs sung in praise of Rama. He was mesmerized and without his knowledge took a reclining posture – called 'Bhava-samadhi' (Bhava samadhi is a yogic posture). King Bhadrasen, when he had finished his song, was astonished to find Hanuman in Samadhi before him. He requested Hanuman to reside there forever and bless his and Lord Rama's devotees.[3][2]
