Pokhu Devta mandir, karna mandir, Sarnaul and Duryodhan mandir, Saur.
Deodar, chir and Pine surround the Netwar Village were these three temples are located, all within the range of 14 km.
Netwar can be reached from Chakrata via tiuni, which is on the Chakrata-Shimla road. To reach the village from Tuini, one has to go to Har-ki-Doon valley via Mori. Here a narrow 'Pagdandi' (Goat's track) leads one to the congfluence of the rivers Rupen and Supen (Which later form the TAMAS or TONS) where one crosses a light iron bridge. It is a risky track, two and half kilometers long-stonny, mossi and damp-that finally leads to the Pokhu Devta temple. What a refreshing sight at last!
A courtyard beackons one past the few hutments surrounding the temple area, the morning glory and golden pumpkin flowers blossom in peace, under a benign sun.
The myths associated with the temples of the Pokhu Devta, Karna and Duryodhan are repeated in the pages that follow in the next few days.
