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. |
