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.
