History and Legend behind Khole Ke Hanuman Temple
The temple situated on a hill top and surrounded by hills on three sides, was commissioned by Pandit Radhe Lal Choubey, a resident of Jamwa Ramgarh, after he chanced upon a rock with carving of Lord Hanuman. Taking it as a cue, he decided to build a temple at the site in 1961.
Pandit Choubey had already started offering his prayers long before the temple was established. It is believed that Baba Nirmal Das used to worship Lord Hanuman at the same site a few centuries ago and this site was earlier called Narwar Dar Ki Khol. Pandit Radhe Lal Choubey also played an instrumental role in coming up with the Narwar Ashram Seva Samiti, a community that dedicatedly worked towards the temple building.
At the time when the temple was built, it occupied only 100 square feet of area at the site of Laxman Doongari hill. As time passed and the temple gained popularity, the temple complex was expanded and today, it is spread across several acres of land (around 300 times compared to the initial area) with a grand structure for the temple.
