BAGLAMUKHI DEITY

Introduction

The Beas-Sutlaj Link authorities in the course of the execution of the Project had decided to acquire the Baglamukhi temple and the village of Bhakli in Mandi as the area had to be submerged in the Pandoh reservoir. The temple has a legend behind it and was not very old either. Mandi Raj had conferred some Jaigir (rent-free grant of land) for the maintenance of the temple and the regular pujah of Baglamukhi deity.

After the formalities had been observed of serving notices etc., the Acquisition Cell of the Project consisting of a gazetted Sub-Divisional officer and his staff visited the area and wanted to assess the valuation of the property for payment of compensation.
