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.
