All of sudden the plough was hit by some story thing and the sound - Thlikk ... was created. He dug that place and found and Idol covered with sand. His wife reached their with his lunch packet. He showed the idol. She cleaned the idol with her sari (dress). That the idol Balaji i.e. Lord Hanuman was appeared. They bow their head with devotion. She worshipped Lord Balaji. The news of appearance of Lord Balaji spread in the village Asota immediately.
The Thakur of Asota also heard the news. In the dream. Balaji ordered him to send the idol to Salasar in the Churu district. At the same night a devotee of Lord Hanuman, Mohan Dasji Maharaj of Salasar saw Lord Hanuman or Balaji in dream. Lord Balaji told him about the idol of Aasota. He immediately send a massage to Thakur of Asota. The thakur became surprised - How Mohandasji knew minor details without coming Asota ? Certainly it was a kindness of Lord Balaji . The idol sent to Salasar and was fixed there. That is now Salasar Dham.
