Travel Time : Kurali, Punjab #2 - Barah Mandir (Dwadash Jyotirling Dham)

During a small visit to Kurali in Ropar District of Punjab, 25 km from Chandigarh, I visited the World's 2nd Mandir which has a replica of the 12 Jyotirlingas in the World. This Mandir hence derives the name "Barah Mandir" or the "Dwadash Jyotirlinga Dham".

About Kurali -

The place came into the national limelight when a refugee camp was set up of about 60,000 Muslims was set up during the India- Pakistan partition. However, in Ropar and Kharar divisions, it is known for its hakims, sadhus, astrologers, fairs and army recruitment centre.
During World War II (1939-45), Kurali, after Ambala Cantonment, was the biggest recruitment centre if the Indian Army. When #Adolf_Hitler (1889-1945), the German Dictator, interviewed the prisoners of war from India, the majority of these fighters belonged to the Kurali Recruitment Centre. Hitler expressed a desire to visit Kurali, if fate and circumstances permitted.

On November 27, 1938, #Subhash_Chandra_Bose, accompanied by Dr Satya Pal, Dhuni Chand Ambalvi and S. Kulbir Singh (brother of #Bhagat_Singh) visited Kurali and delivered a highly spirited speech, asking the British government to quit India.
