Shri Advait
Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir is located at Shri Kainchi Dham, Param Pujya Baba
Shri Neeb Karori Ji Ashram P.O. Kainchi Dham belongs to Nainital district in
the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
Kainchi is a
place at an altitude of 1400 meters above sea level situated at a distance of 9
kms from Bhowali and 17 kms from the district head quarters Nainital on Almora-Nainital
Road.
It is a
modern pilgrim centre that has achieved recognition owing to the ashram of famous
Neeb Karori Baba (or Neem Karoli Baba), also known to his followers as
Maharaj-ji.
Kainchi is a
term used for two sharp hairpin bends of the motor road (U-shaped bend in a
road) in local dialect hence the name. It has no relation with scissors.
It was some
time in 1962 when Maharajji came in Kainchi village and asked for the
construction of a chabootara (rectangular platform). Hanuman temple is built
over it. His devotees started coming from different places and a chain of bhandaras,
kirtans, bhajans started.
Pran-Pratishtha
of Lord Hanuman idol and other deities were performed on 15th June in different
years. Thus, 15th June is celebrated as Pratishtha Divas every year when a
large number of devotees reportedly, more than one lakh people come to Kainchi Dham
and blessed.
Accordingly some
changes have been made in the whole complex so that people do not face any
difficulty in movement.
