After Touring in Kaithal, it really feels as if I'm visiting some old historic city. Kaithal is the birth place of lord hanuman, Kaithal is known as Kapisthala. It is named after lord Lord hanuman it is believed to be lord Hanuman birth place. There is a temple dedicated to goddess anjani as well. It is also called Choti kashi as we know of it today. The 11th rudrashiv mandir was also located here. So a lot of old history is located here. People said instead of calling this city historic, it should be called ancient. It is said that cities are either meant to be historic or ancient or modern. So the city of Kaithal is ancient city. Our last stop in this journey is Gurudwara sri neem sahib, near sivan gate. The name of this gurudwara is Shri Neem Sahib Gurudwara and it is believed that in 1723 Shri Guru Teg Bhadur Ji Stayed here before leaving for Delhi and he meditated under the neem tree, which is why this gurudwara named.

Image
Good morning everyone, In today's Blog we are going to visit Kalayat Hindu Temple situated in outskirts of Kaithal. The word "Kalayat" is derived from Kapilayatana, which signifies the place where the sage Kapila lived. The sage Kapila, one of the most well-known philosophers of India, is claimed to have resided here at one point. Only two of the area's original five temples—which date to the eighth century AD—remain today. The temples are excellent examples of early Hindu architecture and were built by cutting bricks and mortar. The local authorities maintain the etched bricks because they are genuinely unique. These temples hold a special place in history since they may be the only remaining Hindu artefacts from the time before the Mughals. The temples are close to a river's banks. Next, when we are roaming around the town. We found one chaat shop named Brijwasi Chaat Bhandar near committe chowk. Aloo Tikki, Ghee Fried crispy potato patties topped with ch...

They are the most famous sweet and snack shop in the city whose legacy dates back to somewhere around 1951.
