Maharashtra News: This story is from the demon Nandur village in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, where a unique tradition and faith that has been going on for centuries has shocked everyone. It is also forbidden to take the name of Hanuman ji in this village. People here worship a demon ‘Nimba Daitya’ instead of Hanuman ji and believe that he is his protector and adorable.

What is the mystery?

In the demon Nandur village, it is also considered inauspicious to bring Hanuman ji’s idol, picture, name, or something to them to ‘Maruti car’. The people of the village believe that Lord Rama entrusted the responsibility of protecting this village to the Nimba demon, so he is worshiped here. It is also considered taboo to marry people with Hanuman ji’s name or surname.

Faith or superstition?

According to the villagers, taking the name of Hanuman ji becomes untoward. Such as accidents due to bringing Maruti brand car. The name of a worker falls ill when Maruti is Maruti, and then after changing his name.

Effect on social life

Even if the people of the village go out (like Mumbai, Pune or abroad), they still worship the Nimba demon. Girls who come to the village after marriage also automatically adopt this tradition and do not worship Hanuman ji.

Worshiping the rest of the gods?

Yes, people here worship Ganesh ji, Krishna ji, Sai Baba, etc. but not of Hanuman ji.

What is the reason for enmity between Hanuman ji and Nimba demon?

The answer to this question is hidden in the folklore and traditions of the village, which will have to go deeply to understand and deep. In India, where Hanuman ji is considered to be the most influential deity of Kali Yuga, there is also a village where he is worshiped, not his worship, but a monster. It is faith, tradition or superstition, it will only decide time and research.
