Cultural Heritage
The genesis of the Salasar Balaji Temple in 1754 CE marks a pivotal moment in the religious landscape of Marwar, rooted in a miraculous discovery that resonated deeply with the devotional ethos of the Rajput period. A farmer, Ginthala Jat, while ploughing his field in Asota village, unearthed a unique idol of Hanuman, distinctively adorned with a beard and moustache. This serendipitous finding, occurring on a Saturday, an auspicious day for Hanuman, was swiftly communicated to Mohandas Maharaj, a revered saint and ardent devotee. The subsequent divine vision experienced by Mohandas Maharaj, instructing the idol's relocation to Salasar, underscores the spiritual agency that propelled the temple's foundation, transforming a simple agricultural discovery into a sacred mandate for a new pilgrimage site. Following the divine directive, the idol was ceremoniously transferred to Salasar, a village that would soon become synonymous with this unique manifestation of Balaji. The construction, commencing in 1763 CE under the direct supervision and spiritual guidance of Mohandas Maharaj, was not merely a private endeavor but also garnered significant local support. While Mohandas Maharaj initiated the project, the patronage of local Rajput thakurs, particularly from the Khetri family (a branch of the Shekhawat Rajputs), was instrumental in providing land and resources, solidifying the temple's institutional footing within the regional power structures. This convergence of spiritual fervor and aristocratic backing ensured the temple's consecration in 1775 CE, establishing it as a significant religious landmark and a focal point for devotion in the arid Churu district, profoundly shaping the socio-religious
