Shri Hinglaj MandirAn important Shakti Peeth of Goddess Sati, Hinglaj Mandir or
Nani Mandir is situated in Hingol National Park in Baluchistan province of
Pakistan.

It came into existence when Lord Vishnu cut up Sati's dead body into 52 pieces
so that Lord Shiva would calm down and stop his Tandava. These pieces got
scattered all over the Indian subcontinent whilst Sati's head fell at Hingula or
Hinglaj.

According to ancient scriptures, Lord Rama had also meditated at Hinglaj to
atone for his sin of 'Brahmhatya' - killing of Ravana who was a Brahmin and a
great devotee of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga.

Bheeru is derived from the Sanskrit word of Bherv, which means Bogey-man. Bheeru
is an incarnation of the Lord Shiv-Rudar, who is the Hindu deity of destruction.
Shiv-Rudar travels on a dog, and the fear that he excites is such that even the
witches and the ghosts are afraid of him. He is usually found near the cremating
grounds.

An old Hindu temple of historical significance situated in the east of Thokar
Niaz Beg, called the Bhadhar Kali Mandar, is facing decay and destruction.

The exact date of the construction of this mandar has not been deciphered but
according to the founder of Punjabi research institute, Khojgarh, Mr Iqbal
Kaisar it has to be around 2000 years old. The temple has one central building,
with a huge pool in the center of the main complex. The walls of the mandar had
beautiful frescoes, some of which have managed to survive over the years. The
stone pool was fed by 12 wells through an indigenous drainage system.
