CHAIL - HISTORY OF CHAIL
In the following article penned by Devansh, we are going to read about the History of Chail, who owns Chail palace, and many more things about chail.Whenever we feel lonely or bored in our daily life we just pack our bags and
make a random trip to the nearest hill stations. The following story composed
by Devansh Kaushal is going to revolve around the birth of a Hill station named
Chail near Shimla It owes its neighborhood on the political and tourist
maps to an Indian prince who made it his summer city better known as the Summer
capital of Bhupinder Singh. This is the story of Chail, a town barely 45 km
from Shimla in Himachal Pradesh.

Chail is located at a greater altitude than Shimla. Chail was the summertime
capital of the former princely state of Patiala. It came into being in the
overdue nineteenth century when its elegant and dashing Maharaja Bhupinder
Singh was banished from Shimla, the summer capital of British India for
flirting with the British Commander-in-Chief’s daughter. Hurting at this
insult, Bhupinder Singh began exploring the nearby hills with a private guiding
force – to find a hill that was within the vision of Shimla but higher. The
little village of Chail seemed perfect. Shimla lay within direct sight, and
most important, Chail was higher than the British-dominated Shimla town. Large
tracts of the land here already related to him. This had been given to his
predecessors for services executed during the Gurkha wars which had come to an
end in 1815-16.
HORROR STORY AND THE DREAM
A situation was picked and the Maharaja began building his
summer castle. But an unfortunate omen seemed to hang over the construction
area. Local story has it that the moment anything was built, it would deflate
overnight. Dozens of snakes would appear from nowhere and attack the laborer.
THE DREAM: Then Bhupinder Singh had a dream. A sage looked before him and declared that
the site the Maharaja had chosen was where he had dreamed till he was taken by
the earth, d his peace should not be disturbed. The Maharaja had the
sage’s grace or blessing to build on any other spot. Bhupinder Singh moved to
another site and at the original point– which is about a kilometer from the
Palace Hotel – he had a temple built to the sage. Here the stone manifestation
of the sage may still be viewed along with the iron tongs and trident. The
church is known as the Sidh Baba Ka Mandir and is revered by many who claim
that the sage has the power to grant benefits. Meanwhile, Bhupinder Singh had
another site surfaced out and a splendid palace was built and sumptuously
furnished. And at 2226 m, a good a hundred meters above Shimla’s average
height, Bhupinder Singh’s summer capital was prepared to take on the British
one at equal terms
