Hanuman Garhi
Hanuman Garhi is located in a fort situated at the western gate of Ram Kot as a place of watchman. Hanuman ji, (a brave devotee to Lord Ram) is considered (on the basis of mythological faith), the Kotwal (watchman) of Ayodhya city.
King Vikramaditya constructed this temple of Hanuman ji. After a period Nawab Mansoor Ali constructed a fort around the temple through Tikait Rai which is now famous as Hanuman Garhi. In this temple, golden idol of Shri Hanuman ji in the lap of his mother Anjani is established.
For the management of Hanuman Garhi, there are four arrays of saints named as Haridwari Patti, Basantia Patti, Ujjainia Patti and Sagaria Patti. They have their own Chief as well as a principal Chief who is known as Gaddinashin.
At present, Mahant Shri Ramesh Das is Gaddinashin. In this temple, anniversary of Shri Hanuman ji is celebrated with great enthusiasm.
Valmiki Bhawan
Valmiki Bhawan is constructed in the form of Baba Maniramdas Chhawani in Vasudeo Ghat area. In this temple, the complete sanskrit-verses of Valmiki Ramayan, an epic in Sanskrit language is inscribed on white marble and portraits relating to Ram Katha are painted on the walls.
Idols of Maharshi Valmiki along with his pupils Lav and Kush, the twin sons of Lord Ram are established here. A large number of books in Sanskrit language are collected in a library established in this temple.
In this building, International Shri Sita Ram Nam Bank is established in which devotee people deposit Shri Sita Ram Nam writing on a copy provided for that purpose in different languages. This temple is under supervision of Mahant Nritya Goplal Das Ji at present.

Hanuman Bagh
It is said that Shri Ram Padarath Das, the main disciple of Shri Ram Vallabh Sharan Ji Vyas had planned to construct a Hanuman Temple for which the idol was brought from Jaipur and temporarily placed at a garden (Bagh).
Thereafter, when the attempt was made to shift the idol to its final place, it did not budge. As a result, the temple was constructed at that very place where it was initially and temporarily placed and is now known as temple of Hanuman Bagh.
