The Story Behind Dhela River
This town is situated in the banks of Dhela River. History says that this river used to flood frequently in the past thus driving its inhabitants away in search of a different land for settlement. The saint Guru Nanak then appeared at the bank one day and promised to save the land from further floods. It is believed that he began to sing to the river till the river rose and touched his feet. After this the water retreated away from the town to a distance and floods never occurred. This gave rise to the Gurudwara Shri Nankana Sahib, a speciality of this town. Tourists like to stay in Kashipur Hotels when they arrive to visit such sites. These Hotels in Kashipur enlighten the tourists staying them regarding all the historical sites to be seen in the town.
For The Joy of Pilgrims
It is not surprising that Hotels in Kashipur get filled to their maximum with pilgrims during festive seasons. This is owing to the presence of a famous Shiva temple here where Lord is present in the form of Jyothirlinga. That is, the face of Lord Shiva can be seen by the devotees in this temple called as Sree Mateshwar temple. Finding lodgings in Kashipur Hotels at the time of Navaratri is almost impossible owing to the big fair named Chaiti Mela conducted here.
