Salasar Balaji

In the
Churu district and 2hrs drive from Fatehpur, the great famous temple
of SANKATMOCHAN HANUMAN is situated. Salasar Balaji is situated
in the small town called Salasar. The holy temple requires no introduction
to Hindus all over the world. It has a trail of devotees that cannot
be numbered. The history of this temple dates back to 1811 in a
village called Asota, where a farmer while ploughing his field,
got stuck by some rock under the earth and when cleared by his wife,
emerged an idol of Lord Hanuman. The Thakur of that village dreamt
being asked to shift the idol of Salasar for proper religious incarnation.
At the same time a devotee worshiper of Lord Hanuman called Mean
Das also dreamt about the Lord and was asked to do the same. The
idol was thus sent to Salasar with all care and devotion. Transforming
the village into the Salasar Dham, initially a hut, the place was
later developed gradually into a concrete temple, which now has
a large complex. All that the devotees desire is fulfilled by Lord
BALAJI, lacs of followers from all over the world visit this holy
place every year.
