Hanuman Vatika is a popular tourist destination in Rourkela, named after the towering 75-foot statue of Lord Hanuman, one of the tallest in the State. The then Chief Minister of Odisha, Biju Patnaik, inaugurated it on 23 February 1994, and it is located about 6 km from Rourkela Railway Station.
Covering an area of 13 acres, Hanuman Vatika sits in a scenic and peaceful environment. The peaceful environment attracts numerous visitors every day—not only for religious purposes but also for relaxation and leisure. Within the complex, devotees have constructed several temples, including shrines dedicated to Bata Mangala, Lord Binayak, Vaishnodevi, Sarala, 12 jyothirlingas, Lord Shiva, Santoshi Maa, Maa Lakshmi, and others.
