Hairakhan Temple at Chiliyanaula


It is 4 km far from the town of Ranikhet at Chiliyanaula where the Temple of Hairakhan is located. This temple was built by Shri Hairakhan Maharaj who is said to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva. From this place one can get a comprehensive view of the bestowed nature and the lofty Himalayan ranges. The GD Birla Memorial School is very close to this place.


Baba Hairakhan was a a popular local saint in the region with a large following and stories of his powers are a part of the folklore here. A well maintained ashram built in his memory lies 4 kms from Ranikhet and offers a peaceful ambience and a beautiful view of the mountains.
