History :
Maa Balasundari ji had appeared in the year 1573 at Trilokpur in a bag of salt brought from Devban ( UP) by a local shopkeeper Ramdas. The said shopkeeper kept on selling salt from the bag through out the day but the commodity did not exhaust and the bag remained filled as if nothing had been taken out there from. He was taken aback from the miracle and Goddess appeared in his dream narrated the incidence of her disappearance from Devban(UP) and directed to construct a Temple to establish her PINDI swaroop ,which was already existing inside the bag of salt and also directed to worship in the name of “MAHAMAYA BALASUNDARI” – an infant state of Goddess Vaishno Devi. Ramdas was not rich enough to construct the temple ,thus he decided to approach the then ruler of Sirmour state Sh.Pradeep Prakash who agreed and got constructed a temple for the Divine PINDI of Mata Balasundari ji at Trilokpur. Now there is a big and beautiful temple surrounded by hills and attracts millions of piligrims throughout the year.
