Dhayanu Bhagat Samadhi  at Nadaun :- 

This is one another holy place for Hindus situated at Nadaun . Dhayanu Bhagat was a great devotee of Mata Jawala ji . Once in sixteenth century Bhagat Dhayanu was going to Nagarkot Kangra to visit the Darbar of Maa Brajeshwari and Jawala ji with his one thousand  devotees of Bhagwati Brajeshwari and Jawala ji .

When Empror Akbar came to know about this , Empror called Bhagat Dhayanu and asked about his journey . On this Dhayanu Bhagat told that At Jawala ji a continuous flame is burning and is dedicated to Maa Bhagwati Brajeshwari and Jawala Mata  and Maa fullfills all the wishes of devotees who pray with true heart .

On this Empror said if you have so faith on your Bhagwati then I will cut the head of your horse and you pray  for life your horse and let us see, can  Bhagwati Brajeshwari give life to your horse ?

Dhayanu Bhagat said certainly Maa will give life to my horse . On listening Dhayanu Bhagat 's answer , Empror cut the head of horse . Dhayanu Bhagat came to the temple and  did Jagran for the night and in the morning he prayed before Mas Brajeshwari to save his face by giving life to his horse other wise he himself will cut his head and offer in the feet of Maa Brajeshwari. 

When the Bhagwati did not replied , he took Khanda and cut his head and  sacrificed in the feet of Maa Brajeshwari. 

On this Maa Brajeshwari appeared and gave life to Dhayanu Bhagat and told that your horse had also been given life . When Empror saw that horse re gained the life , he himself came to Jawala ji and diverted a water canal to lit off the flame of Jawala ji but flame appeared on the water , then Empror Akbar came on barefooted and  offered a golden Chhater to Mata but it turned to other unknown metal  and Akbar bowed his head before  Maa Jawala ji and Brajeshwari and returned back . Even that Chhater  is  lying in Jawala ji temple today . So Dhayanu Bhagat was a great devotee of Mata Brajeshwari and Jawala ji.

Dhayanu Bhagat spent last 20 years of his life at Nadaun and daily used to go to Jawalamukhi temple to worship Mata Jawala ji on his horse . So where Bhagat Dhayanu spent last days of life in Thana Nath Matth at Nadaun,  his Samadhi was established in Nadaun Thana Nath Matth . The Samadhi sthal is in need of its proper   care and Management by the Dhayanu Bhagat trust or Jawala ji temple trust  .
