History :

“Pehowa” was named after the famous King “Prithu”. According to a historical legend the famous and mighty King Prithu, on the death of his father was giving water to all the people. Sitting on the banks of the sacred River Yamuna, the King carried on with this humble activity so that the soul of his father rests in peace. From that time onwards, the place came to be known as “Prithudaka”. With the passage of time, the original name of “Prithudaka” was altered to “Pehowa”.

Many “Hindus” flock to the holy land of “Pehowa” to worship their death ancestors and offer “Pind Daan” in order to release the soul of the deceased from the cycle of birth and re- birth.
