  • One of the best experiences, Being a native of Shimla; love to come here quaterly with family and enjoy the ambience, beauty, architecture of the temple.🔥 It has one main temple followed by shiv, ganesh temple as well. Also, one can worship the nav grah idols here(though now we have 8 planets). As it's the hanuman temple, so you will surely find many monkeys hanging on trees of the woods and also roaming in the temple, snatching food from the worshipers(be aware of that). Also, the temple has bhandara on every Sunday for it's worshippers.(It's yumm 😋) 👀Reviewer Arjit
