Bathu Temples dipped inside Pong Dam Lake near Dhameta town of Kangra region in Himachal Pradesh, India - by Shagun Thakur

Here is a Photo Journey of Bathu Temples in Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh. Photo Journey is shared by Shagun Thakur, who belongs to this part of the state. Bathu temples can only be seen during summers as the water-level goes down in Pong Dam. Let's start the Photo Journey to Bathu Temples, with some interesting information about the place..First two photographs are clicked when water level is not at the peak, otherwise all the temples take a dip inside the Pong Dam Lake. Only some part of a huge pillar remain outside the water-levelBathu Temples are three kilometres away from Dhameta, which is a small town in Kangra. There stands a cluster of antique, unique, tall temples which remain dipped in water for most of the time in an year. Finally temples are exposed during months of March  to  June. Lot of pilgrims visit these temples during this time. Throughout the year, this place, commonly known as 'Bathu ki Larhi'  (a string of Bathu stone-structures) enjoys the unique distinction of being  a popular tourist spot.Shagun shared that Bathu Temples were build by Pandavas and were accessible by all the folks before Pong Dam was built. Earlier beas used to flow on it's side and temple was accessible throughout the year. Before Pong Dam was built, this cluster of unique artistic temples used to attract pilgrims from different parts of the country. At that time, there was only the  flowing Beas water near temples and no dam water engulfed  them as it does today. It was in 1961 that the work of Pong Dam started, giving it the final shape in 1970. The pillar on the left is the one which can be sensed during high water-level conditions :)Pong dam, now  occupies the vast stretch of land falling within the boundaries  of Terris , Dhameta , Bharmad, Jawali, Nagrota Suriyan, Dada-Sibha and Dehra. Pong Dam carries water of the Beas and those of the rivulets of Gajj, Vool and BundeirBathu ki Larhi is a cluster of eight  temples covering a vast area which used to have strong  protection walls which are now falling and crumbling in the strong current of waterIn spite of the fact that for the last 30 years this cluster of temples remains dipped in the  water for eight months every  year  yet their stone structure has the same natural color, beauty and luster as it used to have when they were actually constructed. Such is the durability of Bathu stone, a quality preferred in the entire Himachal. Only the color of plaster and those of the bricks has undergone a change. The stone images set on both sides of this gate, one image being of Mother Kali and the other of Lord Ganesha. Before one enters the temple complex, one has to pass through another main gate, all of which indicate how this cluster of temples was covered within two protection walls in order to save  them from foreign invaders, There are also protection walls and protection. Towers, now in crumpled shape, but show how those days' defense system was par  excellence...Usually boats are used to reach the temples of Bathu. Above photograph shows reflections in Pong Lake waterBroken Images of Lord Vishny and Sheshnag, the antique artistic ladders with images of Hindu gods inside the temple domes; prove how the Hindu architecture was simply at its peak. The chisel and stone work on Bathu stone is superb.. Apart from these beautiful Bathu temples, there is an Iceland around this place, which is named as Ranesar. There is a Forest Guest house in Ranesar. This Iceland is known for lot of peacocks and various other birds of Pong. Another visit to Bathu Temples is planned and more photographs would be shared soon.

These temples are awe inspiring. Other than these temples, there is one village close to Dhameta/Fatehpur which is in the middle of the dam and no electricity.

I visited long ago but could not pay a visit to these temples.

I have heard that the compensatory land given to Pong Dam immigrants is a steep piece of land, which is quite a site in itself.

I often used to visit Kangra during 1978-80 when i was quite young.During those vists I have a great memories of Andreata (Now in Palampur) where the famous Art gallery of famous painter Sobha Singh was there besides Famous Norah Richards. At that time there were no Hotels in that sleepy village and I still remember having slept in open.Next day I had a shower in a natural waterfall , the name of which i have forgotten but still i can make out its location by visiting there That is a nice Memory. Now I am 70 but still i will visit the beautiful Kangra which is very close to my heart and would definitely visit this cluster of beautiful temples.
