The historic town of Tosham will soon emerge as a centre of tourist
interest as the Archaeology Department has initiated the process to
bring out a booklet on its history and a photo gallery would also be set
up there for the tourists.
While stating this today, an official spokesman said that the Joint
Director, Archaeology, Hisar, Dr Rajesh Kumar Srivastava today led a
team to the sacred ponds and places of historical importance adjacent to
Baba Mungipa Dham in Tosham and gathered valuable information. During
the inspection of the site, the team found a rough sketch made on a
stone, which indicated the life of the ones royal families which might
be living there. Such a painting has not been found in the area around
this place.
He said that Tosham is considered as a sacred place associated with
Baba Mungipa. He said that it is believed that there used to be a
religious lady namely Chandrawal who meditated and became popular as
Baba Mungipa. There is a temple where she is believed to have
meditated. The sacred ponds namely Giyarsia Kund, Kukkut Kund, Surya
Kund, Indra Kund, Panchtirath Kund and Pari Kund attract the people. It
is also believed that during their exile, the Pandavas stayed there for
13 days. Some women, who become widow, take bath in the sacred ponds and
wear used clothes. There is also a place known as ‘Bardari’ which has
12 doors thus indicating that it was being used by a King.
