Uttarakhand's Dronagiri village shuns Hanuman worship over ancient legend.

• Dronagiri village in Uttarakhand does not worship Hanumanji.
• Villagers worship Lord Rama but exclude Hanumanji from their rituals.
• The animosity stems from a mythological tale where Hanumanji took the Dronagiri mountain without permission for Sanjeevani Booti.
• This act angered the mountain's guardian deity, Latu, and disrupted his meditation.
• Locals believe red water from the mountain is the deity's blood, reinforcing the ban on Hanumanji's worship.
