Dwaat Mahadev Temple
Been there recently?
Dwaat Mahadev Temple is a temple of the time of Mahabharata which was established by the Pandavas.This temple is built in one night by the Pandavas. The stone of this temple was brought from Sikri Dhar Mountain and taking all the stones in one night, and made this temple. It is said that when the Pandavas went to Banvas, they went all over Bharatvarash and built these temples in different places of India. Some of the temples that were built in Himachal Pradesh are these such as rock temple, Bhima pathar(stone) temple and Dwat temple. All these temples say something in themselves. Government figures will not get it much information but some people have tried to bring it in front of the world. And with the efforts of all of us, this Dwat temple is known in India today; you should just love nature and on discovering new one also gets God. Shiva Shivling in Dwat Mahadev temple which is in red color. There are trees, plants around the temple which cools the mind. The moonlight and twinkling stars make the night even more beautiful at night. If your luck is good, then the most famous animal here is the black bear, which makes you look at night. Which has very less chances of appearing? There are some villages around this temple, in free time; you can do attraction with the local people. A place is perfect for yoga and meditation. Peace of mind, God is the best place to meditate here. There is a shortage of water here. Whenever you come here, do not forget to bring water with you. Our club provides you with foot camping here because there is no good way to stay here. Therefore, whenever you come here, make contact. May Narender Singh Sandhu, when I came here, I have tried to get down to some words which I feel are my own.
Thanku .

History Of The City
A steep flight of steps comes down to a small pavilion just above the Sirkund road. From the Chamba to Tissa road the flight of steps continues down to the main town a little to the east of Manni Village. At the end of the flight of steps there is another small pavilion with gargoyles with running water. The flight of stone steps to the aqueduct from the Sarota stream was built by Sarda, the Rani of Raja Jeet Singh (1794-1808). According to the legend when Raja Sahil Varman founded the town and made this aqueduct for water supply to the town the water refused to flow. It was ascribed to supernatural causes. It was prophasised that the spirit of the stream must be propitiated, and the Brahmins, on being consulted replied that the victim must either be the Rani or her son. Another tradition runs that the Raja himself had a dream in which he was directed to offer up his son, where upon the Rani pleaded to be accepted as a substitute. Thus on a appointed day the Rani along with her maidens was buried alive in a grave. The legend goes on to say that when the grave was filled in the water began to flow.
In memory of her devotion a small shrine was erected at that spot and mela called Sui Mata Ka Mela was also appointed to be held annually from 15th of Chait to the first of Baisakh. This fair is attended by women and children who in their best attire sing praises of the Rani and offer homage to the Rani for her singular sacrifice.
