The temple has an interesting legend behind it.
It is said that a deadly arrow injured Lord
Rama's brother Lakshmana when he was fighting the
battle with the demon king Ravana. A priest
diagnosed Lakshmana and said that he needed a
particular Sanjeevani herb from the Himalayas to
cure Lakshmana. Hanuman was sent to get that herb
from he lofty mountains. Upon reaching the
Himalayas, Hanuman couldn't make out as to which
herb was the Sanjeevani. So he dug up the entire
mountain and flew back to where Lakshmana was
lying injured.

After Lakshmana was cured, Hanuman went back to
place the mountain in its original site. He
rested on top of the Jakhu hill for sometime. It
is said that the top of the hill got flattened
due to Hanuman's weight! The temple has been
built around the place that is supposed to have
the footprints of Hanuman. It is a highly revered
religious place of Shimla and devotees throng in
huge numbers to pray
