Hanuman Tok is a Hindu temple complex which is located in the upper reaches of Gangtok, the capital of the Indian state of Sikkim. The temple is dedicated to lord Hanuman, and maintained by the Indian army. In 1950, a bureaucrat, Appaji Pant, built the temple over the stone.[1] Later the Indian Army acquired the land around Hanuman Tok and inherited the temple along with it.[2]
