The temple had been founded by Mahant Sri Sri 1008 Purushottam Dasji Maharaj. It is believed that Hanuman temple of Panki was established before the establishment of Kanpur city. It is said that Mahantji was returning from Chitrakoot once. Then on the place where there is a Panki temple, there was a rock seen on which Bajrang Bali could be seen.
