Nice place. People go there to worship and also for wishes... They tie coconut having sacred cloth. And once the wish comes true they offer sheep. Must go and visit. Peace. 🤗✌

The temple is extending and is still under construction but the old temple and is great. The amazing thing about this temple is that no Gods and Goddesses are worshipped over here. Instead people worship the Elephants, hence the name Haathi Kheda. You won't find idols of any God or Goddess inside, only two idols of white elephants guarding the Lawjora village of any rampage by the giant beings. Another interesting thing about this temple is that people come here from all over the country and tie a coconut and make a wish. It is said that once their wish comes true the coconut will fall automatically. And people whose wishes come true come back to thank the elephants and show their devotion by sacrificing a sheep. This is the part of the tradition going on in here for a long time since in the early ages not a lot of people were rich, so sacrificing something they own meant a lot in terms of devotion. And a lot of people owned sheep at that time, so it started as a common offering has now become a ritual. Do visit the temple once. It is a good experience overall and the natural reserves surrounding the area give it a vibe which is at par some of the best experiences you can have.

Hathi kheda temple is actually made to worship elephant as in past there was many instances of elephants destroying the village, keeping in view they started worshiping Sri Hathi Kheda Thakur to protect them from such issues, the place is near to patamda, the roads for about 2-3 KM is very narrow and not proper, and the other road is full of big pit holes and mud, so please check the place with someone who visited before to get the best route, do not get into trap of google map, it may put you in trouble. The temple is near to the local vegetable mandi, where you can get cheap locally grown fresh vegetable.

This is a unique Hindu temple with a different believe & faith, it have background story too. Situated at Lawjara (Jharkhand) and surrounded by Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary), around 40KM from Jamshedpur City. Weekdays you will get less rush but weekend you may experience unusual rush. Temple opens @ 9.30AM, you can offer puja over there. For smooth public movement temple has made arrangement with a rows & barricades. There is tradition to sacrifice ships also.

Great place for devotees, but it is far from jamshedpur city. The stair is full of hanging cocunut, because of wishes by the devotees from god

The place is very beautiful but the transport is very bad. In the rainy season it gets worse. Many devotees are offering lamb 🐑 as homage but you have to consume all of it at that very place. And ladies cannot eat any of that.

It has a history of more then 300 years of worshipping, basically Elephants use to eat rice(dhan) so the villagers decided to install hathi Thakur after that the Elephants groups came but a handful only and the place gained a tremendous faith, so people from various places like odisha, Bihar, West Bengal visit this place and ask for Mannat and if gets fulfilled we offer a sheep and the prasad is taken by male members only no female member is allowed to eat the prasad, it is a strictly followed since it's inception. Everyone can visit this place and pray for there well-being. It depends on hathi Thakur that he might call you suddenly by any medium that can be a sudden visit or a trip or anything it may be as I have been staying at home past one year and many time I have passed by that same route but I didn't get an opportunity or as we call ki jab tak woo apko bulyge nahi you can't visit this it will remain pending in your bucket list, so whoever is reading this post just offer your obeisance, the prakrti will help to reach this auspicious place. Thank you for reading till the end may your wishes comes true...

Hathi kheda Thakur it worship place the temple is too good ....Everyday lakhs of people are crowded in Hathi Kheda Thakur temple, every day worship is done and sacrifices are also offered and it shows the natural beauty of the place, you guys come here and roam around and see, I think you guys would love the place

Amezing place..a temple at jharkhand.very clean and well decorated.. Also well managed.after reached there you have to park your car or bike.after that you will entry from.the entry gate.you have to off your shoes. Then you have to clean your hand and legs with fresh water.after that you will see a coconut counter..there you can take coconut for mannat or puja purpose.mannat coconut price is 60 rs and puja coconut price is 50 rs.after taking that you can entire the main mandir..and then you see the pujari he told you what to do next.after that if you do mannat something then you have to hang that coconut in the trees or anywhere at the mandir premises.. You will get prasad from the pujari.and one more thing to mention that prasad is only for boys..girls and womens are not allowed to eat the prasad of hatikheda thakur..

Awesome Place. Roads are not smooth. But view and spiritual presence makes the trip absolutely worth it. Not to mention, you can get probably the best Chicken curry and thali for a rate of ₹50 opposite temple gate. Ladies are not allowed to eat the prasad.

Devotional place…Quiet and calm place. Women are not allowed to do puja here themselves, the priest do it for them but everyone can take blessings. Also the Prasad can only be eaten by the males. That’s the tradition followed here. It’s said wishes are fulfilled here with god’s blessings.

It was amazing to visit there I got peace when I entered the temple this trip was very nice and I wish I would come once again🐘🐘🙏🙏

Me and some of my colleagues visited this place out of my curiosity and to enjoy the mutton and two of us perfom puja to Hatikheda thakur. What I had observed there was that it was an ancient people's worshipping place where no-Brahmin is allowed to perform pujas.There was no Deity but have some replica of Horses and elephants similarly as seen in the Goram than of Kudmis and other communities.This Temple is situated at the village of Laojora where Kudmis, Bhumij and other communities live in and around. According to informants the Laya(Priest) of Bhumij community does perform the puja. One notable characteristics of this Mandir is that the Prasad(Holy food) is only be offered to male only as I told you it is an ancient rituals followed by Kudmis, Santals, Bhumijs and other indigenous people. They followed the Sarna/Jahira or Sari religion( Worshipping of nature) not the Hinduism.

This is an ancient holy place, people are often visit this place to fulfill their wish, as per local people they are worshipping for more than 300 years, people have tremendous faith on this place, so people often come from various places like Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal to visit this place and make mannat/wish and if it's get fulfilled they offer sheep/other intended items and the prasadam also cooked at the same place and consumed by only the male devotees only no female devotees are allowed to eat the prasadam, this rule has been strictly followed since the inception of this place. Everyone with family, friends can visit this place and pray to Hathi Kheda Thakur.

God himself is sitting in this temple. And here God fulfills everyone's wishes Jai BABA HATHIKHEDA

The Hathi Kheda Thakur Temple is a Hindu temple located in Lawjora, Jharkhand. It is a popular pilgrimage site, especially for people from Jharkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal.The temple is surrounded by a large garden, where coconuts are tied to trees as offerings to the deity. There is also a pond in the garden, which is said to have healing properties. The atmosphere is very peaceful and calming. I felt very blessed to have visited this temple.

People say your mannat will be success if u pray . Here sheep is given bali and only boys and men should eat. Female should not get sheep prasadam. Nor they should not bring the meat Prasad at home. ( Eat outside, not allowed inside home).

People came here for worship and express their wish to the god here. You can came here from Banduan or Dimna.But transport is bad for the last 9-10 km. You can offer lamb or metal bell to the god for fulfilment of your wish. Availability of food is very good here. You can buy groceries from nearby shop and give the hotel. They will for you. Keep wish here with pure mind and it will be fulfilled definitely.

I had a great experience there. The energies are very strong. You can feel those energies. Everyone should visit there atleast once. It has a beautiful history which the local people can tell and you can also buy books to know the story.

This is Sri Sri Hathi kheda Thakur Temple. Located at Jharkhand state ( purba Singhbhum district). Near about 25 to 36 kilometres from Purulia railway station. Hill area and beautiful natural. Too good tribal peoples. But roads condition is very poor.

Spiritual place. Famous for mannat/wish...visited many times since 2010 Dad by day no of devotees increases. In a normal day its takes 1hr to darshar on a busy day like sunday may even 3hrs. Road to mandir is in pathetic condition. But more pathetic is people openly consuming alcohol in mandir surroundings. Its a very awkward situation for person with family.
