Mehandipur Balaji Temple (Devanagari: बालाजी मन्दिर) is a Hindu temple located in Mehandipur, Dausa district, located on the border of Karauli district and Dausa district,the temple is dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman. The name Balaji refers to Shri Hanuman in several parts of India because the childhood (Balaji in Hindi) form of the Lord is especially celebrated there. The temple is dedicated to Balaji (another name for Shree Hanuman Ji). Unlike similar religious sites it is located in a town rather than the countryside. Its reputation for ritualistic healing and exorcism of evil spirits attracts many pilgrims from Rajasthan and elsewhere.^[1]^[2]

Research[edit]

The temple has been known for many years, for exorcism from evil spirits attachments and black magic or spells.^[3]^[4] In 2013, an international team of scientist, scholars and psychiatrists from Germany, Netherlands, AIIMS, New Delhi, and University of Delhi started a study to evaluate all aspects of treatment and rituals at the temple.^[5]^[6]
