Famous Temples Of Hamirpur District
Baba Balak Nath Temple-
This famous temple is at Deoth Sidh
in Hamirpur district. A legend about the
temple goes that Balak Nath was a sanyasi boy born at Girnar in Kathiawar and
was endowed with miraculous powers. He made many pilgrimages and ultimately
settled at Talai.It was here that Balak got his true light and this place
became famous as a place of worship. Another tradition says that a chela of
Surukhnath while grazing cattle used to drink their milk and the villagers in
the evening always found their cattle dry. They in distress went to a great
miracle worker who agreed to graze their cows and protect them. The
significance of Deoth Sidh begins from that time.
