INDIA, April 22, 2010: The 7-ft murti of Lord Anjaneya (a name of Hanuman) at the famous Anjaneyar Ashram in Salem now has a golden vimana. The first of its kind for the God, the Swarna Vimana was consecrated recently. The beautiful ashram also has sannidhis for Sri Rama, Sakkarathazhwar, the 13 Azhwars, and Sri Ramanuja and Desikan.

The ashram was established in 1976 in Vijayaraghavan Nagar in Jagir Ammapalayam village by S. Vijayaraghavan and Vanavaasi Srinivasan along with devotees. The area which once wore a deserted look, was transformed into an idyllic setting thanks to the efforts of R. Nagarajan, a social worker and spiritual speaker.
