Treta Yuga Mystery: Shatrughna's Bow-Arrow Idol in "Hanuman" Temple

• The Mahaveer Hanuman Temple near Lav Kush Nagar houses an idol with a bow and arrow, not a mace, believed to be of Lord Shatrughna.
• Its history dates back to the Treta Yuga, linked to Shri Ram's younger brother Shatrughna and his battle with the demon Lavanasure.
• Sages sought Lord Ram's help against Lavanasure, who obstructed their penance near Maa Bambarbani hill (associated with Mother Sita).
• Shatrughna was sent by Lord Ram, defeated Lavanasure, and an idol of him emerged from a rock, established by the sages.
• Despite being Shatrughna's temple, it's widely known as Mahaveer Temple, leading many to mistakenly identify the idol as Hanuman Ji.
