HIGHLIGHTS
In the first phase of the Kaliyuga, Once devi Ambika saw some water bubbles rising in the water pond called Bada kui at some distance from Nirmand twinkling like the lamp. The devi picked the bubbles one by one out of which four devtas and seven devis were born. The devi advised them to settle anywhere they liked. The youngest male among them came in the courtyard of mother Ambika and demanded that he wished to settle at a place where there was plenty of water, open space to play and dance and also people who would worship him. Then, Devi Ambika provided him the place called Dropa at the meeting point of river Satluj and Naina Ganga. The vIllagers of Kayal and Bayal worship him. The devta has 21 Mohras.
