Background of Trilokpur Temple

Raja Dip Prakash commissioned the Trilokpur Temple in the year 1573. This temple dedicated to Lord Shiva has Goddess Mahamaya Bala Sundri is the principal deity. Legends speak of a sacred stone or 'Pindi' of salt, purchased by a local trader, which is enshrined in the temple's sanctum.

It has eventually emerged as a legendary place of worship, and thousands of devotees visit this temple during the two Navaratra fairs. The Chaitra Fair here is held in March or April, and the Aashwin Fair is celebrated in September. Hence, domestic tourists and international visitors throng Trilokpur during the festival months.

History of Trilokpur Temple

According to legends, the sacred stone, a symbol of the Goddess Balasundari, was found in a bag of salt purchased by a local trader Ram Dass. The salt in the bag was unexhausted even after he sold it for the entire day. So the goddess, in his dream, directed him to build a temple and glorify the 'Pindi.' Ram Dass approached the king, and a beautiful marble temple was constructed. Another temple for Tripur Bala was later built-in 1570. The descendants of Ram Dass still perform the main pooja (inception of prayers) at the Trilokpur Temple.
