Dadasiba

The town, famous for its temple and the water mills is believed to be established in 1450 AD. What you must see here are the murals and wall painting at the temple which will take you to the ancient era and its excellent craftsmanship. The Radha Krishna temple is built using the red sandstone from Agra and marble from Jaipur. Although nothing firm is known about the artists of the beautiful murals, it has been said that the paintings are a result of artists Devi Chand and Suba Ram’s creativity and skills.  

Another popular site worth visiting here is the Kaleshwar Mahadev temple, 16 km away from Pragpur. The picturesque location of the temple, on the banks of River Beas, offers a glimpse into the artistic stonework, highlighting the mythological narratives associated with the place. Tourists visit the 400 years-old Kaleshwar Mahadev temple to offer their prayers to the Shivalingam and the holy pond in the vicinity. According to the ancient beliefs, during their exile, Pandavas visited this place and even started the construction of the temple. This was later taken up by the Katoch dynasty’s ruler. Planning a visit around Baisakhi is a great time to witness the locals indulging into the grand festive mode.
