Salasar Balaji
The other great Rajasthan Hanuman shrine, often paired with Mehandipur on a Balaji circuit.
Khatu Shyam Ji
Hugely popular Krishna-as-Shyam temple in Sikar, a common add-on for Rajasthan pilgrims.
Govind Dev Ji, Jaipur
Jaipur's beloved Krishna temple inside the City Palace complex, easy on the way back.
Mehandipur pairs naturally with Rajasthan's other great Hanuman destination, Salasar Balaji in Churu district, roughly 250 km away, and many pilgrims knit the two into a single Balaji circuit. Also within reach is Khatu Shyam Ji in Sikar, about 180 km off, one of the most thronged temples in the state, dedicated to Krishna in his Shyam form.
Closer to the return leg, Jaipur puts Govind Dev Ji within about 110 km, the city's cherished Krishna shrine set inside the City Palace complex and an easy, gentler counterpoint after the intensity of Mehandipur. Because these sites spread across different districts, most travellers base a night in Jaipur and treat Mehandipur, Khatu and Salasar as separate day runs rather than trying to string them all together in one exhausting push.
