Tall statue
of Sankat Mochan Hanuman is located at Chamunda Devi Temple; Kangra near
Palampur under Kangra district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradsh. It is located
10 kms west of Palampur, 15 kms from Dharamshala and 55 kms from Jwalamukhi (or
Jawalamukhi of famous Jwala Ji or Jwala Devi Temple). It stands on the banks of
the famous Ban Ganga River.
It is
believed to be the same spot where the Mata or Maa Kali assassinated the demon
kings Sumbh and Nisumbh. The two generals were namely Chanda and Munda. It is
their name that gave Goddess Kali, a new name called Chamunda.
The
surroundings of the Chamunda Devi Temple are considered just perfect for those
who are interested to meditate and pray.
Famous lyric
of Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak by Goswami Tulsidas is beautifully written on
standing stone of the statue.
