| description | Temples of Katas (Punjab-Pakistan) hold a very important place in the Hindu mythology especially due to a sacred pond which has different stories regarding its formation. Also this area known as Raj Katas, consists of several historical buildings; mostly related to different branches of Indian religions. Moreover, this place has seen countless invasions and various civilizations, which resulted in impression of other religions on the culture of this area in different periods. However, due to the partition of India their importance has been generally forgotten. This article is aimed at tracing and compiling the history of the temple in order to educate people about its significance.
