Why Famous Salasar Balaji

Unique Idol of Hanuman Ji

The idol of Lord Hanuman at Salasar Balaji is distinctively different — it has a round face, beard, and mustache, unlike the clean-shaven appearance seen in other temples. This rare depiction is believed to be self-manifested (Swayambhu) and holds immense spiritual power.

Powerful Wish-Fulfilling Temple

Devotees believe that sincere prayers at Salasar Balaji are answered, especially related to health, family, and financial issues. The tradition of tying coconuts with red thread (moli) on the khejri tree in the temple complex is a symbolic act of wish fulfillment.

Savamani Offering Tradition

One of the most famous rituals is “Savamani”, where about 50 kg of food, such as dal baati churma, laddus, and boondi, is offered to the deity. This food is later distributed among pilgrims and the poor, representing devotion, service, and charity.

Major Fairs & Festivals

During Hanuman Jayanti, Chaitra Purnima, and Ashvin Purnima, lakhs of devotees gather from across India. The temple becomes a hub of religious activities, devotional singing, and community meals, creating a vibrant spiritual atmosphere.

Spiritual Energy & Faith

Salasar is considered a Shakti Sthal (spiritual energy center) where people report feeling calm, energized, and emotionally healed. It is visited not just by Hanuman devotees but also by followers from all over India seeking divine intervention.

Accessibility and Pilgrimage Circuit

Salasar Balaji is part of the “Balaji Triangle”, which includes Mehandipur Balaji, Khatushyam Ji, and Salasar Balaji — three major Hanuman and Krishna temples in Rajasthan. Many pilgrims do this circuit as part of a spiritual journey.
