HIGHLIGHTS
The Pindi of Devta Lomash Rishi was automatically incarnated at a place namely Lageeshar. Once, two brothers namely Bheeun and Ratan moved towards high mountains to dig the herbs of Guggul. While moving when both reached to a peak namely Lomychool, heared a voice as ‘Should I come ? ‘. Hearing the voice they saw here and there but he saw none. After gathering herbs they sat to relax then continously the voice like Should I come ? flowed. In reply, they told ‘Aa Ja’ (Come in). No sooner did after his saying, a Pindi incarnated and a voice came from it that I am Lomash Rishi and wants to move along with you. Hearing this, they picked the Pindi and established the Pindi. Later other temple were built for the devta.
