The post further read,” Fearing that the monkey might damage the idol inside the sanctum sanctorum by dropping it on the ground, the security officials on duty rushed towards it. Seeing the alert officials, the monkey, with a calm manner, turned towards the northern gate to exit the garbhagriha but since the northern gate was closed, he passed through the crowd and exited from the eastern gate without causing trouble to anyone.”

The security personnel remarked that it was as if Lord Hanuman himself came to see Ramlalla, the post further stated.
