Jakhu Temple

An old temple called Jakhu Temple may be seen in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. The Lord Hanuman-dedicated temple is situated at a height of 2,455 metres above sea level. Many pilgrims flock to the temple each year; it is one of Shimla's most well-known religious sites.
The temple was allegedly constructed in honour of Lord Hanuman, who is said to have taken a break atop the Jakhu Hill while looking for the Sanjivani plant. The temple, which is said to be older than 200 years, has played a key role in local lore.

The enormous statue of Lord Hanuman that dominates the Jakhu Temple grounds is one of its key draws. One of the highest Lord Hanuman statues in the world, the statue is almost 108 feet tall. It is a significant landmark of the city and is visible from several locations throughout Shimla.
