Upon query a local shared the history of the temple:



It is believed years ago Bhairav temple was at Hanuman Garhi ,earlier known as Langur Garhi. When Gorkha attacked Garhwal Lord Bhairav location was shifted to another hill now known as Bhairav Garhi. It is situated at approx. 9000+ feet elevation. At Hanuman Garhi now-a-days Lord Hanuman deity is present. Bhairav Garhi is a Siddh Peeth.Hanuman Garhi and Bhairav Garhi are situated at a distance of 2 km approx.


May end or early June festival is organized by locals.
