Back in old days we had a 'shivling' at our house in daaNd. This precious Shivling was worshiped by Pt. Kedar Dutt Kala, arguably one of the three top experts of his time in entire Garhwal in ritualistic Puja. The aura and emotional appeal associated with this 'Shivling' for those who had lived in the house is beyond description. This Shivling is now installed in a temple in Mandai. You have to see to believe the powerful appeal of this shivling, how Manyawar Hari Prasad Kala was moved when he visited the temple two years back.
With passage of time one by one, everyone moved away from the house save for taiji, Manyawar Diwakar and his family. Eventually they also moved away due to demand of time so the house fell in disuse. As time elapsed and folks got busy in their humdrum lives taiji had a strange dream. She saw Shivling in dream complaining bitterly 'You have left me untended. Water from rains washed me down to gadan and now I am lying neglected there. She saw precise location of Shivling in the dream. When she narrated the dream to Manawar Diwakar, they rushed to village and bingo" they found 'Shivling' buried in earth at the very spot where taiji saw It in dream. Quickly it was installed in Mandai temple...It is still there, worshiped by village folks of Mandai...
