Solan
All the students of Lakshya Convent School were taken on an educational tour to the historical site Badirdhar with the Principal Dr. Kusum Gupta and school teachers. Where the students played games, spent quality time in the lap of the lush green forests of Badirdhar and learned about the history of the Dev Sthal Badirdhar that Badirdhar was a part of District Mahasu (now Shimla) till 1972, which earlier came under Arki (Bhagal) Tehsil, later in 1972 it became District Solan and it was merged into Solan District.
It is said that the Pandavas spent the last year of their exile here in the hills and forest caves. A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is located here, the local people call him Badadev and this peak is also named after him. It is said that after the war of Mahabharata, the Pandavas came to this place to get rid of the curse of killing their brothers.
Badirdhar is famous for a fair which is held every year on June 14. This fair is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva along with the Pandavas. A beautiful procession of the Pandavas is taken out in the presence of a large number of people at this place.
