Ghosts, spirits, witches, or demons—no one stands a chance before Balaji.
Located in Dausa, Rajasthan, Mehndipur Balaji Temple sits between two hills in a valley, which is why the area is also called “Mehndipur Ghati.” The idol of Balaji here is believed to be part of the mountain itself.
This temple is especially known for helping people get rid of evil spirits and negative energies.
Three main deities are worshipped here:
- Balaji Maharaj – considered the king of Mehndipur and a form of Lord Shiva.
- Bhairav Kotwal – the commander of Balaji Maharaj.
- Pretraj Sarkar – the judge in Balaji’s court who punishes evil spirits.
The temple has strict rules:
A week before visiting, people must avoid non-vegetarian food and alcohol.
On the way back from the temple, if you hear any sound behind you, you should not turn around.
No exchanges or sharing of items is allowed inside the temple—not even offerings or prasad.
Now, what is the Kishangarh style?
In this art style, you’ll often see large lakes in the front and background, with ducks and swans swimming in them. Paintings also show Radha and Krishna dancing the Raas Leela. You can spot sunrise and sunset scenes painted with orange clouds, and the graceful beauty of women is also a special part of this artwork.
