as per a story which is famous here it is that in those old days When lord Ram was on earth in human form Gomti river used to flow from this place. Sita ji was exhiled from kingdom of Ayodhya Laxman ji and hanuman ji were accompanying Sita ji to Bithur ashram of sage valmiki while moving out of boundaries of Ayodhya they had rested at this place. Laxman ji had requested to Sita ji to visit next stoppage which was police station of Ayodhya kingdom in the outer areas. However Sitaji was exhiled and she was not willing to go in boundaries of Ayodhya kingdom. Hence Laxman ji went on further but Sita ji had stayed at this place. Lord Hanuman guarded the place. Next day the went to Kanpur Bithur ashram of sage valmiki. Later on a temple was constructed at this place. This temple existed for centuries. The near by area came to be known as Hanuman bari . Later on in 14th century with invasion of Bakhtiyar Khilji name of this place was changed to Islambari.
During 1792-1802 wife of the then nawab of lucknow (awadh province in those days) Rabiya Begum did not had child for many years. Later on Rabiya begum had tried all sort of traditional medicines, prayers , duas etc prevalent in those days how ever nothing worked. One day some one suggested her to go to Islambari and make a dua (supplication) for herself so Rabiya begum went and made supplication then one night she had a dream where her unborn child told her in dream that in that area Islambari, an idol of Hanuman ji is underground some where. If she can dig the ground and manage to excavate ground and get the idol she should establish Hanuman ji temple at that place. Rabiya begum as being guided in dream excavated the ground at that place and found the idol she brought the idol up cleaned it and it was decorated.Servants of Nawab seated the idol on an elephant and they were moving from this place to some location where they can establish the temple of Hanuman ji . It is said that while moving from this place in Aliganj the elephant could not walk further . The idol with all the decoration and frame was kept on ground the elephant stood up but when the idol was again kept on elephants back the elephant could not walk again.Later on a sadhu (sage) of islam bari said to queen that probably Hanuman ji does not want to go further because that area (adjacent to river Gomti. ) is of Laxman ji . Geographic location of Gomti river in those days was near this place but later on the course of flow had changed this is as per the stories prevalent in area. Hence the Rabia begum (queen of nawab Mohammad Ali Shah got a temple constructed at current place and appointed the sadhu an official priest at expense of Nawab of Awadh.
