Hanuman Ji Worship? Not in This Village! 🙏 Uttarakhand’s Dronagiri Follows a Unique Tradition Rooted in Ramayana Beliefs

Dronagiri, a remote Uttarakhand hamlet in Chamoli district at 3,658 metres, uniquely has no Hanuman temple because locals believe Hanuman damaged their sacred Dronagiri peak while searching for the Sanjeevani herb. The village preserves Bhotiya traditions, stone houses, and high-altitude treks like Bagini Glacier and Nandi Kund, attracting travelers interested in distinct cultural interpretations.
