Perched atop Jakhu Hill, the highest peak in Shimla, Jakhu Temple is a historic site dedicated to the half-monkey god Hanuman. The temple’s most striking feature is a towering 108-foot (33-meter) statue of Hanuman, believed to be one of the largest depictions of the deity in the world. Visitors can explore the temple grounds, which offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and witness the vibrant rituals and offerings made by devotees. The serene atmosphere and the imposing presence of the statue make this a significant spiritual and cultural destination.
