Kainchi Dham & Neem Karoli Baba:- 📖​ The History: Kainchi Dham was established in 1964 by the revered saint Neem Karoli Baba (affectionately called Maharaj-ji by his devotees). The word "Kainchi" means scissors, named after the two sharp hairpin bends on the road that look like a pair of scissors. 🧘‍♂️ The Vibe: Unlike heavily commercialized temples, Kainchi Dham is an Ashram nestled perfectly in a valley next to a flowing river (the Shipra River). It is surrounded by lush green pine and oak forests. The focus here is on quiet meditation, chanting, and inner peace. 🛕 The Deities: The main temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman (Maharaj-ji is widely considered to be an incarnation of Lord Hanuman). There are also shrines for Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Lord Shiva, and Mata Vaishno Devi. 🙌🏽 The Famous Prasad: If your viewers visit, they must know about the Ashram's legendary Malpua and Chana prasad. On June 15th every year (Foundation Day), the Ashram hosts a massive Bhandara (feast) where lakhs of devotees come just for this prasad. The Global & Celebrity Connection:- ​Kainchi Dham isn't just famous in India, it has massive global appeal... ● ​Steve Jobs (Apple): Visited in 1974 seeking spiritual enlightenment. Maharaj-ji had actually left his physical body (passed away) shortly before Jobs arrived, but Jobs spent time in the ashram meditating. ● ​Mark Zuckerberg (Meta/Facebook): Visited in 2015 on the advice of Steve Jobs during a tough time for Facebook. ● ​Recent Visitors: Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, and Julia Roberts are also famous devotees, which has caused a massive surge in tourism recently. Important Rules for Visitors:- ● Photography is strictly prohibited inside the main temple premises. ​● Traditional, modest clothing is expected. Shoulders and knees should be covered. ​● It is an Ashram first and foremost. Visitors are expected to maintain peace and not treat it like a loud tourist picnic spot.
