Sankaṭ Mochan Hanumān

Google This Temple has been around for more than ten years now and they still maintain the same interest and dedication in daily darshan and aarti. I particularly appreciate the Serene space and the natural calmness one feels in the ambience. The staff is very dedicated and I like the fact that they don't impose their school of thought unless someone asks them about Mount Madonna center details. The temple is on top of a raised hill and this makes it beautiful 360 degrees around. I like the singing that happens during aarti for Hanuman. The cafe closeby is nice to go get a hot beverage and snacks. Parking is structured and very well directed. The restrooms are neat and maintained. Tip: don't forget to visit the book store while in the area. Good stuff!!5 stars

Yelp Calm and peaceful vibes in the temple. It's a small temple on top of the hill with a seemingly wide impact. Cafe is also great with the many variations of traditional chai. Just stay clear of the racist old man near the cafe.4 stars

Yelp Such a pain to reserve a parking spot! They changed how reservation for parking works and now every time I fail to secure a reservation. It feels like you They changed how reservation for parking works and now every time I fail to secure a reservation. It feels like you3 stars

Yelp This temple is on the top of a mountain in Watsonville,CA and just the drive is worth coming here. But the temple is beautiful and every time I come here, I feel this sense of calm--maybe it's the weather or the air. I visited the temple of Sunday eve with my family, parents & friends. Always feel blessed to visit this temple. I appreciated the tranquility and isolation of the place. We saw some deer & peahens that casually strolled through the greater temple area without paying attention to the humans around them. Do reservations so that they know you are coming and temple can accommodate you, URL: temple.mountmadonna.org Jai Hanuman! Jai Shree Ram!!5 stars

Yelp Reading a handful of reviews about this temple getting packed during weekends and that reservations are mandatory during weekends, we decided to make a visit to the Hanuman temple during a weekday morning. The drive to the temple is long and winding, not too bad but be prepared for that and make sure your car's gas tank is full before the drive. The temple grounds are pretty big, with the mandir, yoga & conference rooms, bookstore, anjaneyah cafe. There are restrooms in the property as well, one inside the entrance to the bookstore and another one in the mandir itself. When we came here on a Tuesday morning, we were the only ones in the mandir. There was a calm background music playing in the temple - it felt very peaceful. Unfortunately the anjaneyah cafe was closed when we were there. Overall it was a nice experience and I'd definitely like to visit the temple again5 stars
