History of Kamrohad Deo
This god is said to have been a Raja of Kullu. He settled at Kamrohad on the boundary of Mandi and Suket States. He is known by several names, viz., Kamrohad Deo, Kamrah Deo and Kola Raja. Attached to the temple is a tank that is very deep and is the joint property of both the States. The people have great faith in this god. The offerings made to him are thrown, into the tank which is said to contain property worth many thousands of rupees. It is held very sacred by the people who believe that a man who once caught fish in the tank lost his life.
Once a man promised to offer a pair of bangles to the god if he were blessed with a son. A son was born to him and he brought the child to the temple and threw the bangles in the tank. On his way back he thought he had been foolish to have thrown the bangles into the tank for nothing. As soon as this thought came to him, his son died and he found the bangles on his arms.
Great enmity exists between Bara Deo and Kamrohad because the former had abducted the wife of the latter and always kept her with him. Whenever Bara Deo moves out, the clouds cover the temple of Kamrohad so that the god may not see his queen with his rival.
A fair is held here on the first of Har every year.
Final Words
Jai Kamrunag devta
