About Sudh Mahadev
An ancient Shiva temple above the Devak river, in a forest above Chenani. A broken trident, said to be that of Lord Shiva, is the main object of devotion. A big yatra and fair are held each year in the month of Shravan. The approach is a drive and a short walk, and the setting among deodar and rocky slopes is pretty.
