Visited Salangpur Kashtbhanjandev Hanuman Temple

Origins and Establishment
Located in the Botad district of Gujarat, the temple is part of the Swaminarayan Sampraday. The primary idol was installed in 1905 by Sadguru Gopalanand Swami, a highly revered saint and disciple of Lord Swaminarayan. 
The Legend
According to temple history, when Gopalanand Swami installed the idol, he touched it with a wooden rod. Legend says the murti (idol) instantly came alive and began to move, infused with Lord Hanuman's divine energy. 
The Deity: Kashtabhanjan Dev
The temple is uniquely dedicated to Lord Hanuman in the form of Kashtabhanjan, which literally translates to the "Crusher of Sorrows." The striking 9-foot idol depicts a stout Hanuman with a handlebar mustache, standing with one foot crushing a demon (representing Shani Dev in a feminine form), and surrounded by monkey attendants bearing fruit. 
Significance and Beliefs
Because of the powerful divine energy believed to have been transferred by Gopalanand Swami, the temple is famous across India for its healing rituals. Devotees believe that a mere glimpse of the idol can drive away evil spirits, negative energies, and mental or physical afflictions.
