The temple of Sri Bihariji Maharaj is located in Bharunda, Rajasthan, India.

This temple is worshipped by locals from the area. This sage is supposed to be the kul-devta of the Sultania's, Jalan's and other important Marwari communities. It is believed that this sage was born here many thousands of years ago. He was supposed to have enlightened the community folks living in this area.

It is said that the foot prints are still visible and are worshipped here. There is a huge tree around a kilometre away where he did tapasya. Every year, there is a huge fair during the month of August and especially on Janamasthmi day (the day when Krishna was born). Thousands of devoted flank the temple of this auspicious day for the darshan of this sage and his devout god - Krishna himself.
