History and Architecture of Salasar Balaji Mandir
It is said about Salasar Balaji Mandir that here Hanuman ji had appeared for the first time to a person named Mahatma Mohandas Maharaj in the form of a bearded and mustache person. Then Mohandas had told Balaji to appear in this form. Therefore, the idol of Hanuman ji with beard and mustache is installed in this Mandir. It is said that Balaji appeared in Asota village of Nagaur district in 1811 to fulfill the promise given to devotee Mohandas. In this Mandir Salasar Balaji is offered churma.

According to the legend, once a farmer was plowing a field. Then suddenly the plow collided with some sharp rocky object and he saw that there was a stone here, one of which was the idol of Hanuman ji and the other idol of Balaji. Meanwhile, the farmer's wife brought food. She made the first offering of millet crumbs to the idol of Balaji. That’s why Salasar Balaji devotees offered churma. It is said that once at night, Balaji appeared in a dream and asked the farmer to install the idol at Salasar in Churu district. Since then, one idol is present in Salasar and the other in Pabolam.
