temple.
There
is
a
large

The
story
of
the
hill
temple
of
Ranchi,
the
capital
of
Jharkhand,
is
very
interesting.
This
temple
of
Lord
Shiva
situated
on
the
mountain
was
in
the
possession
of
the
British
before
the
independence
of
the
country
and
they
used
to
hang
the
Freedom
Fighters
here.
Since
Independence,
the
national
flag
is
also
hoisted
with
Independence
Day
and
Republic
Day
along
with
religious
flags
on
this
temple.
This
is
the
first
temple
in
the
country
where
the
tricolor
is
hoisted.
This
temple
of
Lord
Shiva,
located
7
km
from
Ranchi
railway
station,
is
known
as
Pahari
Temple.
The
old
name
of
the
Pahari
Baba
temple
was
Tiriburu,
which
later
changed
to
'Hanging
Garry'
in
British
times,
because
Freedom
Fighters
were
hanged
here
under
the
British
rule.
After
independence,
the
first
tricolor
flag
was
hoisted
here
in
Ranchi,
which
was
hoisted
by
a
freedom
fighter
Krishna
Chandra
Das
of
Ranchi.
He
hoisted
the
tricolor
in
memory
and
honor
of
the
martyred
Freedom
Fighters
here.
Since
that
time,
the
tricolor
is
hoisted
here
on
Independence
Day
and
Republic
Day
every
year.
There
is
a
stone
in
the
hill
temple,
on
which
the
message
of
freedom
of
the
country
is
written
on
the
midnight
of
August
14
and
15,
1947.
