A Hanuman temple in Khar West, Mumbai, founded in 1960 by a local man, Sakharam Rahate, and busiest on Tuesdays and Saturdays and at Hanuman Jayanti. Its name comes from the great number of bells hung about it.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Devotees hold that a wish granted here must be repaid with a bell, which is why the temple has accumulated so many.
