Regarding the Veer Kesari Hanuman Temple, Institution Minister Dr. Rathore shared that the place of Veer Kesari Balaji is very old. Initially, the idol was placed on a simple, raw platform. Devotees, when offering prayers, would also perform rituals to maintain the platform. In 1952, the alumni of the institute, along with Rao Sawai Kesri Singh Ji of Bijoliyan's brother, Thakur Madan Singh Ji, and Kunwar Narendra Singh Ji, renovated the platform with public support, preserving the original idol. They also installed a marble idol and a canopy from Makarana. The institution continues to provide facilities for incense and lamps. The current temple is now grandly adorned with a magnificent flag atop the structure, making it a prominent feature of the area.
