Hanuman Chatti
Hanuman Chatti (7200 feet) is a small hamlet a few miles from Gaurikund, the name "chatti" indicates that it was at one time a night stop on the pilgrim road. Sanyasis from the Juna Akhara live there now during the pilgrim season, where they care for several small temples (the main one to Hanuman, shown here), where the passing pilgrims provide a steady stream of potential patrons (no one is here now because I took this photo in November). The flat platform to the left of the temple is the samadhi shrine of Himalaya Giri, a sanyasi who must have lived in that spot for many seasons. So at this site are two nodes of holiness for Hindus: a temple to a deity, and a memorial to a renunciant ascetic.
This is a frontal shot of the main temple, which even with the tower is only 6 feet high. The corbelling (overlapping courses of stone) to create the arch is clearly visible, here, as are the painted signs identifying the Juna Akhara (a particular group of sanyasas) and the place as Hanuman Chatti. Enshrined in the temple is an image of Hanuman carrying the mountain, which is one of his central heroic acts in the Ramayana. The reddish banners and the garlanded lion are also symbols of the Juna Akhara.
