on this site and thus, he should not
build the palace there.

Kasauli
:During the 17th century,
driven by unsettled political
conditions, some Rajput families
from |
Rewari(in
present day Haryana) fled their
homes. They took refuge in the
lower Himalayas, finally settling
down at a village called Kasul
where there was a perennial spring
of fresh water. Today, some three
centuries later, the spring is
the site of a water reservoir .
