The temple was established as Radha Krishna temple as the metal idols of Radha Krishna are still there and worshipped, that’s why the temple’s older name was ”Thakurdwara”. Earlier in ancient times the ”Thakurdwara” temple used to be on the peak bit according to a legend in ”[[Treta Yuga]]” when Lord Hanuman was on the way of taking [[Sanjivani (Hinduism)|Sanjivani]] from [[Dunagiri (mountain)|”Dronagiri”]] to ”[[Lanka]]” for saving ”[[Lakshmana|Shri Lakshmana’s]]” life, he stopped for a while on that peak and beacuse of his strength the mountain got dumped in the trench. At that time ”Baba Jankidas” was meditating there, when ”Baba” saw ”Shri Hanuman Ji”, he folded his hands and caught his feet and showed his extreme and deep ”[[Bhakti]]” (devotion) and prayed to him that “”Lord Hanuman, you are in the path of Dharma by serving [[Rama|Shri Rama]] and in that work you gave me Darshan (sight) and made my life meaningful, Lord Hanuman I request you to kindly enthroned here in the idol form and make your other devotees life meaningful and efficient too by your Darshan””. Lord Hanuman accepted his faithful request and that’s how the temple became the temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and that’s the reason behind the place and temple got it’s name as Khushala or Kushala (efficiency).<ref>{{Cite web |last=शिमला |first=अंकुश डोभाल |date=2024-10-13 |title=शिमला में भगवान हनुमान का अति प्राचीन मंदिर, यहां भक्तों के कष्ट हरते हैं महावीर |url=https://www.abplive.com/states/himachal-pradesh/shimla-ancient-temple-of-lord-hanuman-mahavir-removes-sufferings-of-devotees-ann-2802716 |access-date=2025-12-15 |website=ABP News |language=hi}}</ref> The temple has many paintings in Pahari and Kangra paintings style which even today retain their artwork as before and shows the cultural heritage of the temple.
