Kapal Mochan History:
According to legend, Brhmanahatya, or the killing of a Brahmin, is a grave sin, but if one kills a Brahmin and bathes here, his Brhmanahatya sins will be washed. Nearby Bilaspur, Haryana (not to be confused with Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh) in Yamuna Nagar District, which takes its name from the corrupted form of “Vyas Puri,” was the ashram of Ved Vyasa rishi, where he wrote the Mahabharata on the banks of Sarasvati river near Adi Badri, where Sarasvati river leaves the Himalayas and enters the plains.
Along with the 48 kos parikrama of Kurukshetra and Dhosi Hill, it is one of the most ancient vedic sacred sites in Haryana.
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji visit:
After the Battle of Bhangani in 1688, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji visited Kapal Mochan and presented robes of honour (turbans) to warriors who fought this glorious war against Hill Rulers. He also spoke with priests from the Durga temple. He delivered Hukamnama to temple priests, and it is still kept by them. In addition, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his warriors get rid of those persons who pollute the pond water by doing toilets near ponds.Several occurrences occurred during Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s stay at Kapal Mochan, as described in Dasam Granth, Khalsa Mahima (the glorification of Khalsa), and Charitar 71.
The birth anniversary of Shri Guru Nanak dev ji is commemorated with tremendous excitement and passion on the full moon of Katakk. Followers go long distances to visit the site and have their wishes granted by taking a plunge in the holy water of the Sarovar.
