Mehandipur Balaji Temple, Hindu temple in Dausa district, Rajasthan, India.
Mehandipur Balaji is a Hindu temple in Dausa district, Rajasthan, India, consisting of several stone buildings. The three deities Lord Hanuman in his child form Balaji, Bhairav Ji, and Pretraj Sarkar each have separate shrines within the complex.
A devotee lit a flame before the stone representation of Lord Hanuman and kept it burning through uninterrupted rituals. This act spread through oral tradition and brought the temple growing recognition over time.
The site attracts visitors who believe in traditional healing rituals and seek relief for physical or emotional ailments here. Devotees often bring coconuts and sweets to place before the shrines while priests perform prayers and ceremonies.
Visitors find accommodations in hotels and dharamshalas in the nearby area, which serve as simple pilgrim lodges. Buses and other transport connect the site regularly with larger cities in Rajasthan.
Researchers from Germany, the Netherlands, and India came here in 2013 to study the therapeutic practices of the temple. They documented the ritual methods and interviewed people participating in the ceremonies.
