Overview
Khole Ke Hanuman Ji is set in the Aravalli hills northeast of Jaipur. The natural rock relief, rather than a separately sculpted central image, gives the temple its swayambhu identity.
The growing complex now includes courtyards, halls, corridors and shrines used for daily darshan, Savamani offerings and large community meals.
Main Deity and Sacred Forms
East-facing worship
The supplied temple brief records the entrance, sanctum and central worship focus as east-facing.
Associated shrines
Ram Darbar, Krishna, Ganesha and Valmiki worship spaces are named within the complex.
Savamani tradition
Devotees arrange thanksgiving prasad and bhandara through temple-authorised channels.
Name and Meaning
In local usage, “khole” refers to a valley, gorge or natural depression. The name therefore locates Hanuman Ji within the surrounding Aravalli landscape.
Sacred Story and Legend
Pandit Radhe Lal Chaubey recognised a Hanuman form in the rock at Laxman Dungri. Worship began at the natural relief before the modern complex developed around it.
The temple’s published history connects the 1961 establishment with Narwar Ashram Seva Samiti and the gradual organisation of worship and service.
History and Timeline

East-facing route
