As per reports, the Lord Hanuman idol at the Hanuman Jew temple in Umar Panchayat has manifested from the ground beneath a dhinki, an old style rice mill or husk lever. This is historically evident, say the locals. That means the idol which is now being worshipped at this temple is not made by any sculptor but it is a natural one. The idol is east facing and he looks up.
Another uniqueness of this temple is its offering that is called Chudu Muan. This is prepared in the Rosha ghara (temple kitchen). The ingredients are flour, Chhena (Indian cottage cheese), coconut and cashew.
