Shri Punrasar Hanumanji Dham (Aapno Baba Dham)

Shri Punrasar Hanumanji Dham also well known as “Aapno Baba Dham” located at Punrasar town under Bikaner district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Punrasar Baba Ka Mandir is situated on Jaipur-Bikaner National Highway No. 11 and about 57 kms from Bikaner city, 43 kms from Shri Dungar Garh and 15 kms away from the Seruna. This Holy place is surrounded by the Sand Dunes.
Punrasar Balaji Temple has a very ancient history of more than 300 years. This temple was established on Jaisth Sudi Purnima of Vikram Samvat 1775 (in the year 1718). Besides the main Nij Temple, there is also an original statue of Hanumanji at the old tree of Khejdi. At Khejdi, the ancient Hindu custom of Jhadula (or Baabari or Mundan-cutting the hairs of new born children) takes place. Churma Prasadi, a sweet dish made up of wheat flour, butter and sugar is provided to the devotees of by the Pujari and his family members as a Prasad. The Prasad is first offered to God Hanuman for Bhog and is then distributed to the devotees.
According to the legend, a famine (droughts) took place in Punrasar in Vikram Samvat 1774. The people started fleeing in search of food and wages. Jairam Das Bothra, a resident of Punrasar, went to Punjab in search of grain. When he was leaving with laden sacks on a camel cart, the camel's leg got broken and it was unable to walk. Bothra convinced his colleagues to go back to the village and then he went to sleep. Suddenly he felt as if someone was calling him; he got awoken and looked around but could not find anyone. He went to sleep but heard the same sound again, and he still did not found anyone. He remembered Lord Hanuman and folded his hands, asking the one who was making that sound to appear.
Then Bhagwan Hanuman appeared as a Pandit and said, "O devotee! I know that you are in trouble, but as from now on all your troubles are solved".
After saying this he pointed out to the God Hanuman statue and asked Bothra to take the statue with him and establish it in the village, adding that this will solve all his troubles. Bothra replied that his camel's leg is broken so he cannot move on. Then the pandit said that his camel is alright, and Bothra was astonished to see that his camel was fine and ready to go. He took Lord Hanuman's statue with him and established it under the Khejdi (or khejri) tree. The Pandit told Bothra that he himself or his family members would have to take care of the deity. Since then the successors of Bothra are taking care of the temple. The Bothra family belongs to the Jain community Bothra Baniya.
Three famous fairs are held every year in Punasar. They take place on Chaitra Sudi Purnima, Asoj Sudi Purnima and the month of Bhadrapad each. There are many rooms situated in the temple premises which are available for the devotees at no cost. There also exists a newly constructed Dharamshala having A.C. and Non A.C. Rooms named Jairam Dharmshala. A Bhojnalaya (for food) is also running by temple governing body ( i.e. Mandir Shri Punrasar Hanumanji Pujari Trust) at free of cost which is famous for very delicious food.
Many people come from all over India and abroad to visit this holy religious Punrasar Hanumanji temple to pray Baba (God Hanuman) and solve their problems of any who prays here by heart.

She is worshiped as the incarnation of Goddess Durga by her followers. She is an official deity of the royal family of Jodhpur and Bikaner. She lived an ascetic life and was widely revered during her own lifetime. The temple is famous for its Rats approx. 20,000 called kabbas, which are treated as sacred and given protection in the temple. Out of all of the thousands of rats in the temple, there are a few white rats, which are considered to be especially holy. They are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Sighting them is a special blessing and visitors put in extensive efforts to bring them forth, offering Prasad, a sweet holy food. Eating Prasad, food that has been nibbled on, by the rats is considered to be a "high honor". If one of them is killed, it must be replaced with one made of solid gold. Karni Mata is also referred to as Nari Bai/Ridhu Bai.
