4 Jakhoo Temple Jakhoo Temple is dedicated to Hindu deity, Hanuman. It is hardly 2 kilometers from the Ridge and is an uphill climb through the beautiful deodar trees. Shimla’s most famous temple, a steep 30-minute hike up from the east end of the Ridge. The Jakhu Temple of Simla is dedicated to the monkey God, Hanuman. After Lakshmana was cured, Hanuman went back to place the mountain in its original site. He rested on top of the Jakhu hill for sometime. It is said that the top of the hill got flattened due to Hanuman's weight! The temple has been built around the place that is supposed to have the footprints of Hanuman. It is a highly revered religious place of Shimla and devotees throng in huge numbers to pray. The hilltop is awash in devotional music and the temple houses a small shrine surrounded by funky relief murals of Hanuman performing feats from the Ramayana. On the way up to the temple, peep through the gates of Rothney Castle, built for colonial reformer and naturalist Allan Octavian Hume, who amassed the world's largest collection of stuffed Asiatic birds here before donating it to the British Museum. An ancient "Lord Hanuman" temple is there and every year a big festival is held on Dushera. You can go to the temple by foot (a steep climb) from Ridge (path behind the church) or can hire a pony/horse.
