The Brahamani Devi Temple
? The Chaurasi Temple ComplexJ is a beautiful and clean and surrounded by numerous schools. All of the Schools have a
lunch break at 1pm and pack up at 4pm. The rush of brightJ cute and energetic children from all sides is a sight to see.
? The HelipadJ which is a short steep climb up the temple road. The view from the helipad is great and is a nice place to
stroll in the evenings. A Sati Temple at the distant end of the helipad was a shocking thing to tumble upon.
? The star attraction of Bharmour is the Mani Mahesh Lake. To reach the lake one drives for a hour ahead of Bharmour
to the road end at village HadsarJ about 13kms away. From there you have to trek for 4hrs to reach the lake.
Photographs of the lake seem magnificent.
? ¦ is a complex formed by a collection of 84
and nearly half the structures housing
them.
? In the morningJ after the prayersJ people gather and chat in different
corners of the complex.
? In the eveningsJ people again gather and sit around. The Chaurasi also
has a few shops in the complex itself which draw quite a few people into
the complex.
? A bit grown up kids can be spotted playing cricket too in the complex.
? The complex is a fun and happening place to be with people also playing
the game of chausar.
? Now the complex is pawed in stoneJ
creating a sense of demarcation from the
rest of the settlement. Earlier the
settlement was much more into the
complex since the complex had grass
growing all over.
Planning
? Bharmour lies on the route to Manimahesh. This factor has forced Bharmour to develop in a linear fashionJ along the
highway. People have constructed tourist facilities along the road. The core settlement still remains more or less intactJ
with traditional wooden houses constructed in º º style.
? Bharmour has developed rapidly as an economy due to tourism and horticulture. This has created a divide in the rich
and the poor too. But the major effect is the use of concrete for construction and migration of people from
surrounding towns into Bharmour. Causing a steep rise in the number of inhabitants and tenancy.
Occupation
? Bharmour used to be a shepherd town. Gaddis and Gujjars are
the major part of the population still. But due to the decrease
in pasturesJ these tribes have switched to an agrarian society.
They grow maize in large quantities and farm mushrooms. But
now there has been a steep rise in the practice of horticulture
too. As the apple cultivation is much more profitable.
