HIGHLIGHTS
According to Dev Bhartha, in the beginning of this universe, in the country of Sati (Himalayan Mountain) there lived a demon named Pouni Dauint. He was always troubling Devtas. Anant Balu Nag who lived in nether world came and killed the demon in just two and half seconds. After that, he made his residence on a ‘Kandhe’ (mountain) and created a water pond there. From there Balu Naag moved to a very holy and divine place called Balon passing through Himsoo, Maansarovar, Bharmour, Pingalasar, Winglasar, Sheshdhara, Kamrooah, Shikaree, Jogipathar, Deo Kandha, Balkhol Khoohan and Khanethi. It is said that in this region at Tandi there lived Mehta family. Devta appeared in the form of a hermit and expressed his desire to have food. Mehta’s wife through called her husband who was going to fetch wood from the forest. Hermit had food and stayed there for the night. Early morning, Mehta saw that there was plenty of wood in his courtyard and the hermit was disappeared. Mehta then heard a voice: ‘I am very pleased with your hospitality and want to live here only.’Devta transformed into a Pindi and ordered Mehta to build his temple at Baalo
