					<description><![CDATA[Dear all!
I have gone through the text and comments; all are interesting. However, what is deficent is the history of the place as no written document except a mention in Mahabhrata is available anywhere. The genesis and growth of the temples is shrouded in mystery. The ever first written mention, Katas Raj could find, was by a Chinese traveler Hieun Tsang in his travelogue follwed by Al-Beruni in Kitabul Hind. The later historians, particularly during the Muslim era, mentioned the Sacred Water pool at Katas but that too is deficient in providing evidence on history of the Katas Raj. Period of its origin has been estimated as that of Hindu Shahi in 7th century AD; its archetectural style as that of Kashmiri but no one gave an account as to whether the area was once ruled by Kashmiri rulers or it was mere their influence that reached up to Salt Range. Similarly, the  Hindu Shahi period had an edge to others that during the period, the historiography had got inception in India yet no dobious mention was given antwhere about this very land of Lord Shive, one of the most effective gods of Hinduism.
Alongwith renovation of the desolated site for bringing it back to MAHABHARATA era, there is more need to unearth its history for bringing its past glory back. Without documented history, antiquity of a site looses its worth. We need hectic efforts to find out the missing gap: What historically happened after formation of the sacred pond by Shiva&#039;s tear? Who were the people who looked after the place? What miracolous powers the water and the place attained afterward? I request you all to please help me if you can as I, being a M Phil student, have started a research project on the history of Katas Raj: Myths and Reality. Thanking you in anticipation. With regards.
