Hiking To Tilla Jogian Pakistan| Travel| Adventurous Trip| Hiking Trail| Hindu Temple. Welcome to Tarar Support. after a long time, I am uploading this video, I am in Dhok Bidar Village. We are hiking to Tilla Jogian. Tilla Jogian is the highest peak in the Eastern Salt Range. At 975 meters above sea level, it is about 25 km to the west of Jhelum City. There is an abandoned Hindu temple and monastic complex located on the summit of the Tilla Jogian mountain in the Salt Range of Pakistan's Punjab province. Our Destination is behind this mountain. There are no developed pathways that lead to the complex - visitors must hike and bikers can ride on trails to the top of the mountain to reach the site. There are several walking trails to reach the top: one from the Rohtas Fort side is best for Motorbikes and the other side is the Sanghoi Side, we are walking on this trail. Tilla Jogian is mentioned in the Punjabi poem Heer Ranjha, written by Waris Shah in 1766. Ranjha, the story's protagonist, who when spending his time on the rebound from heartbreak, sublimating his love and passion in the spiritual world, came here for consolation to his former love. He had his ears pierced here, following the tradition of Guru Goraknath's followers. The complex was the most important center for Hindu jogis in Punjab before 1947 and housed hundreds of ascetics. The site is also important in Sikhism for its association with the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak. The complex is located in an area that is forested with olive trees, pines, and Acacia modesta. The Kanphata jogi, an ascetic order noted for its members' ear piercings, was founded by Guru Gorakhnath and was centered at Tilla Jogian. Tilla Jogian's importance as a Hindu pilgrimage centre attracted the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak who meditated here for 40 days in the early 1500s since he wanted to understand the ideology of the jogis, and also debate with them regarding their core beliefs. The Mughal Emperor Akbar visited the "Shrine of Balnath," The 17th century emperor, Jahangir, also visited the temple complex. Following the collapse of Mughal rule, the complex was sacked and looted by the Pashtun king Ahmad Shah Abdali, during one of his several raids into Punjab. Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the late 19th century commemorated the visit of Guru Nanak with the construction of a stone-lined pond, and the construction of a small monument to mark the exact spot at which Guru Nanak is said to have usually meditated. The last priest of the complex was Samandnath Jogi who migrated to India after partition in 1947.
