History
Jain temple
Hindu mythology says Hanuman was the incarnation of Shiva, the god of destruction.[1]
Anjaneri is an attraction of Nasik city, which is also an important fort in the Trimbakeshwar region. Situated at 4,264 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, it lies between Nasik and Trimbakeshwar.
Anjaneri is the birthplace of Hanuman, and is named after Hanuman's mother, Anjani.[2]
108 Jain caves are found here belonging to 12th century. The area around Anjaneri was once ruled for a brief period by Veersen Ahir (also spelled Abhir), who made it his capital.[3]
