Story of Osla
In Osla, lies a temple where a religious cult still continues to worship Duryodhan, the main antagonist of Mahabharat. As the story goes, in his quest for the Pandavas during their fourteen year period of exile, Duryodhan reached the Jaunsar-Bawar regions in the Garhwal Himalaya. The enthralling beauty of this region compelled him to stay here with his entourage. He appealed to Lord Mahasu, the reigning God of these climes to bless him with a piece of the valley, where he may reign and look after the affairs of the people. The 5,000-year-old ritual of the drum being played thrice a day in honour of their beloved king Duryodhana continues even today.
