Lakha Mandal, or laksh mandal as it used to be known, is presumed to be the spot were the palace made of desiduous timber was built by the Kauravas, who conspired to kill the Pandavas.
Lakh' or 'Lac' is hindi for resin and (Mandal) means region. while the pandavas lived here Bheem slayed two tiranical chief tyrant of this region and it was here that he married Hidimba (sister of the tyrants) and fathered Ghatotkach.
A tunnel leading from a ruined fortress to a river bed, and mentioned in Walten's Gazetter of the Doon, is probably the one which the Pandavas took to escape from the palace on fire.
On the Lakha Mandal rocks are inscribed the names of the nine rulers of which three have been erased with time. The list includes two Chagleshs, one of whom is who built the shiva temple at Lakha Mandal.
Here also the eleven generation of the Scoverman dynasty ruled.
Divakarverman, the 11th ruler was succeeded by his younger brother Bhaskarverman who married commoner called Jayavalli. Their daughter Ishwara, married Chandragupta, the son of the ruller of Jalandhar (Punjab). Widowed at an early age, Ishwara returned to her parental house in Lakha Manadal where she built a Shiva temple in memory of her husband. Inscribed on it her prayer, that so long as the earth, the mountain, the sea, the moon, the sun and the star exist, this temple built for salvation of her husband soul.
