Centuries ago, an image of Hanuman was excavated and a mandir was built on the spot.

[3][4] Hindus believe that the image of Hunuman was divinely revealed, and that it was not man made.

In 2006, the City District Government Karachi ordered that the land be returned to the temple in 2006.

[5] In 2012, supported through donations collected from Hindu's locals and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, renovation of the mandir began.

[5] In 2019, more artifacts were excavated including eight to nine images of Hanuman, preliminarily thought to be at least 300 years old by the director of the National Museum of Pakistan, Muhammad Shah Bukhari.
