Kapal Mochan in Yamunanagar
Situated in the forest area near Bilaspur, about 28 km from Yamunanagar where river yamuna flows, Kapal Mochan is an ancient and religious place.
Every year this big fair takes is held on the occasion of Kartik Purinma. This holy sarovar, shaped like the "dooj chanderma" (crescent moon), was known as Samsar in the Satyuga.
According to the Puranas, Kapal Mochan Dham cleanses the sins of all the three eras. According to the belief of the people, a dip in this sarovar washes away even sins like Braham Hatya.
There are five tirthas in the vicinity of Kapal Mochan. Towards the north is Tirthraj Kapal Mochan itself; in the other three directions there are Som Sarovar, Rin Mochan, Surya Kund and Chandar Kund.
According to the folk lore, Bharat had come to set up the idol of Lord Ram here. The Pandavas took a bath in the Rin Mochan Sarovar to get rid of the sins from the death of their relatives and Guru Dronacharya. There is Surya Kund to the east of Kapal Mochan.
It is believed that childless women can be blessed with a child by bathing in this sarovar. Another folk lore says, in the Treta era Lord Ram came here in Pushpak Viman after killing Ravan on his way to Ayodha.
In 1687 Guru Gobind Singh came here to wash his shastras (weapons) after winning 52 wars. Guru Nanak Dev also visited this place in 1584 and recited the "Rattan Mala" here. A Martial Arts Museum has been constructed in the name of Guru Gobind Singh.
