Today we are talking about another such religious place which is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, son of Pawan.

The Monkey Point of Kasauli in Solan is dedicated to Hanuman, the son of Pawan. It is believed that when Lakshmana was rendered unconscious by Meghnad’s Shakti Baan during the battle between Rama and Ravana in Lanka, Hanuman was sent to the Himalayas to fetch Sanjeevani herb. Instead of Sanjivani herb, Hanuman had brought the entire Himalayan mountain.

While bringing the Himalayan mountain, his right foot rested on this high hill of Kasauli, due to which the shape of this plot is like a huge right foot. Sanjivani Hanuman temple is now at this place.
