Motha Maruti Temple

Shrine near Ambar Lake with a naturally formed, reputedly magnetic reclining idol of Lord Hanuman.

Motha Maruti Temple houses an unusual reclining idol of Lord Hanuman said to have formed naturally from local rock rather than being carved. High iron content in the surrounding soil has fed a long-standing belief that the idol carries magnetic properties, adding to its draw for devotees. Located near secondary Ambar Lake a short distance from the main crater, the temple is a compact stop that pairs easily with a visit to the smaller lake nearby.
