It is believed that during any problem remembering the name of Anjani putra Hanuman solves the crisis. But there is one place in India where people never take the name of Lord Hanuman. If a resident of this place worships Lord Hanuman, he/she is thrown out of the society.



The people of ‘Bhutia’ tribe, residing in the village of Dronagiri, near Almora, in Uttarakhand follow Hinduism but hate Lord Hanuman. Till today, temples in Dronagiri do not keep idols of the monkey god.

We tell you why.



Actually, the anger of this tribe for Lord Hanuman goes back to the Treta yug when the epic Ramayana unfolded. During the war against Ravana in Lanka, Laxman was badly hurt by the arrow of Meghnath. Lord Rama then sent for the physician Sushena to help revive his brother, who in turn advised that only a sanjeevni booti (herb) could bring Laxman back to life.

Lord Rama then asked Hanuman to go find that herb, which was only available in the Himalayan mountains of Dronagiri.
