Sri Kasht Nivaran Hanuman temple is was constructed in the 18th
century and is within the Somnath Mandir complex in Gujarat.
Somnath Temple,
which was repeatedly vandalized by Muslim invaders, was rebuilt in 1783 AD by Peshwa
of Pune, Raja Bhonsle of Nagpur, Chhatrapati Bhonsle of Kolhapur, Queen
Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore and Shrimant Patil Buva Shinde of Gwalior. The
Hanuman temple was built in the boundary of the renovated Somnath temple to
have an incident free construction.
As Hanuman here gave courage and conviction to build the
temple without any hindrance, the shrine came be known as Kasht Nivaran Hanuman.
The murti of Kasht Nivaran Hanuman is five feet tall. He is
covered with sindoor all over his body. He eyes are bright and alert. He has
ornaments around his neck and arms. The right hand of the murti is in abhaya
mudra.
Sri Kasht Nivaran Hanuman Mandir is small but a beautiful
one.
