Salasar

Situated about 130 km from Jaipur and 350 km from Delhi on NH 65 Salasar is a village in Churu district of Rajasthan in India famous for Salasar Balaji temple . Balaji another name of Lord Hanuman is revered and worshipped all over northern India. The temple at this place particularly is very popular among people of northwestern Rajasthan, states of Haryana, Punjab & Delhi.

History

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. After clearing the farmer found an idol of Lord Hanuman. The Thakur of that village shifted the idol to Salasar for proper religious ceremony. This has transformed the village into the Salasar Dham. Initially the idol was housed in a hut, the place later developed into a concrete temple, and today it is a large temple complex.
