The current temple structure was built about 1500 years ago. The temple was spread over 2,609 square feet. Later, land grabbers encroached on half of this land. The district court ordered that the encroached land be returned to the temple in 2006. Despite the order, many encroachers continued to occupy the temple area. In 2012, the temple started renovated using the funds

collected from Hindu community and from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Several Hindu deity idols were excavated from the temple site in 2019 as part of the reconstruction operation.

It is believed that during the exile the Lord Ram visited the place where the temple stands. After sometime, a statue of Panchamukhi Hanuman was excavated from that place and a temple was built on the spot. It is believed that circumambulating the Panchamukhi Hanuman idol 11 or 21 times fulfils the wishes of devotees.
