Bhadra Maruti temple is located at Khuldabad near Aurangabad.
The idol of Lord Hanuman is in a reclining posture.
According to folklore, in ancient times, the Khuldabad was known as Bhadravati and the ruler was a noble king named Bhadrasena, who was an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and used to sing songs in His praise.
One day Hanumanji reached the place, to listen to the devotional songs sung in praise of Lord Rama. He was mesmerized and without his knowledge took a reclining posture .
King Bhadrasen, when he had finished his song, was astonished to find Hanuman in Samadhi before him. He requested Hanuman to reside there forever and bless his and Lord Rama's devotees!
