Sri Mehandipur Balaji Temple is situated in Dausa,Rajasthan

(INDIA).Basically Shri Mehendipur Balaji Temple is Lord Hanuman Ji's

Temple.Long ago the image of Lord Balaji and that of Pret Raja (the
King of spirits) appeared from the Arawali hills. Now people suffering
from malignant spirits and black magic or spell get their relief when
they make an appeal for relief to Shri Bhairav ji and Shri Pret Raj
Sarkar who holds his court and awards punishment to the malignant
spirits, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, evil eyed witches etc.Shrine of Balaji,
Court of Pret Raja, Pooja griha, Bhairav ji temple and Ram Darbar are
some of the spots worth seeing here.

Religious ritualistic performances, charity, feeding the poor, homeless

and incapacitated people, water supply for all and fodder for cows and
stray animals are the activities of this temple.

Balaji temple at Mehandipur in Rajasthan is very Powerful place. It is

believed that the deity in this temple has divine power to cure a
person possessed with evil spirit.Hundreds of 'Sankatwalas', as the
possessed people are refereed to in local lingo, throng to the temple
everyday to offer prayers and have 'darshan'. The temple has also
become a home and the last respite for the victims.The 'Mahant' of the
temple, Shri Kishor Puri Ji, prescribes the treatment. It can include
reading holy texts, following a strict vegetarian and simple diet, and
even afflicts physical pain to one's body.

One can witness people going through various physical therapies like
keeping heavy stones on their body , on arms, legs and chest , to ease
their pain. There are others who inhale the smoke that fumes out of
the sweet Patasa's kept on smoldering cowpats. The ones with serious
case of spirit possession, who tends to get violent, are even shackled
in chains within the temple premises.

This may appear a bit anachronistic at the first glance, but thousands
of people are believed to have been cured in this way. Festival time
(Holi, Hanuman Jayanti and Dusshera etc) are regarded as the most
auspicious time to emancipate from the evil spirit

Medical science may discard such approach to the ailment as self-

deceptions based on blind faith, but for the believers, the power of
Balaji is something supernatural, something beyond metaphysics
