Architecture of Siruli Mahaveer Temple Puri

The temple has four parts, namely Vimana (sanctum), Nata Mandira (dance hall), Jagamohana (prayer hall) and Bhoga Mandapa (offering hall).

The main sanctum houses a 10 feet standing idol of Lord Hanuman, the presiding deity of the temple. It has been carved out of a single piece of black chlorite stone. The carved idol represents the deity holding a Gandha Mardana mountain in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand and who is in a mood to destroy Murasura, a demon.

On top of the head of Lord Hanuman, a Shivalinga with a seven hooded serpent has been carved. Lord Hanuman can also be seen exhibiting his torn heart displaying Lord Rama and Goddess Sita. On the right of the pedestal on which the idol has been installed lies the idol of Anjani, the mother of the deity.
