Another history of Mahadev Temple in Deobaloda is related to the engrossed sculptor; legends believe that there was a sculptor who was so dedicated and engrossed in his work that he didn’t care about anything else, he even used to forget about his clothes. While working day and night with a complete focus, his clothes were worn out and torn away eventually, and he became naked.
The sculptor’s wife used to bring food for him. Still, one day, she asked his sister to take the food for him as the sculptor’s wife was busy with other work, and she brought the food to Kalash; as he saw his sister approaching, he got humiliated and climbed onto the roof of the temple and jumped into the tank of the temple which is known as Kund to hide.
Seeing her brother jumping into the Kund, she believed her brother died; due to the guilt, the sculptor’s sister jumped into the nearby pond. It is said that whenever the water level goes down, Kalash is found above the water surface. Another story states that there is a tunnel inside the Kund that connects the temple of Aarang, and when he jumped in, he found the tunnel and went through it. He emerged in Aarang Temple and turned into a statue of stone.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
