Jakhu Temple :


Jakhu Temple is situated on the top of Jakhu Hill, in Shimla city of Himachal Pradesh, at the altitude of 2500 meters. The temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and is believed to be in existence from the times of Ramayana. Situated in the thick forests of Jakhu hills, the temple derives its name from the Hindi word Yakhsa. Yakshas are the mythological characters in Hindu mythology, believed to be a link between humans and Gods. According to the legend, Jakhu temple was formed when lord Hanuman visited Jakhu hill, during the famous Ram - Ravan fight. Lakshman, the younger brother of Ram, was critically injured during the fight and the only medicinal herb which could have saved his life was available in the Himalayan range.
