All the mechanics failed to start the truck, the owner had a dream, the work was done, know the story of the miraculous Hanuman temple of Koderma

Koderma: An ancient temple situated in the deserted and winding area of ​​Koderma Valley of Jharkhand is still popular among the people as an example of faith and miracles. The temple of Lord Hanuman and Lord Vishnu situated on the roadside near the ninth mile of Koderma valley on the Jharkhand-Bihar border not only attracts the devotees, but the miraculous story behind it forces everyone to think. This story strengthens people’s faith in the temple.

Truck broke down as no mechanic could start it, this is how a miracle happened
This almost 40 years old story begins in the year 1985, when a Taylor vehicle going from Koderma towards Bihar suddenly broke down in the Koderma valley. The engine of the vehicle stopped completely. The driver and his companions tried to get the vehicle repaired for several days with the help of local mechanics but were unsuccessful. After this, skilled artisans were also called from other districts. Even after this the fault of the truck could not be rectified. This vehicle, which was parked in a secluded area of ​​the valley for almost a month, troubled everyone.

Finally Chhagan Lal Agarwal, son of the vehicle owner, Govind Ram Agarwal (Chaukdiwal), resident of Ajmer, Rajasthan, and his wife Meena Agarwal himself reached Koderma. He also brought experienced mechanics with him, but despite all efforts the engine could not be started. Meanwhile, one night while resting near the car, Chhagan Lal Aggarwal saw Hanuman ji in his dream. In his dream, he got a hint to install a part of a stone lying in a pit on the roadside. The very next day, on Tuesday, March 12, 1985, the stone was installed and worshiped with full rituals. As soon as the mechanic touched the engine after the puja. The truck which was lying idle for months started within a few minutes.

Stone painted in vermilion color, the temple is famous by the name of Ghat Suraksha Baba.
People considered this incident a miracle and since then a temple was established at that place. This temple is today known as Shri Bajrang Mandir Ghat Suraksha Baba. The same stone is still installed in the temple. Due to the worship, the stone is now completely colored in vermillion. The statue of Hanuman ji is installed next to it. The temple is looked after by Rama Saav, a resident of Kali Manda Meghatari of Koderma, as a priest. He told that many people including Baba Vishnu Giri, Arvind Babu, Harihar Das, Sarpanch Chhotu Singh, priest Parmeshwar Das cooperated in the construction of the temple.

In the year 2007, with the help of the then Block Development Officer Anil Kumar and Ashok Kumar Yadav, Narayan Ram and Shyam Sundar, the work of installing tiles in the temple was completed. Priest Rama Saav said that since the establishment of the temple, there has been a decline in road accidents in this valley area. Drivers passing through the Jharkhand-Bihar border stop here and pay obeisance and wish for a safe journey.
