Dharamsagar Taal

Dharamsagar Taal is a historic square-shaped pond located at the core of Pragpur, India's first certified Heritage Village in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh. Dating back to before 1868, it was constructed by the Nehar Committee and serves as a central recreational space surrounded by heritage structures including Nehar Bhawan and Radha Krishna Mandir.

Visitors can expect to see a traditional square-shaped water pond situated in the heart of Pragpur village, surrounded by heritage buildings with slate-roofed houses and cobblestone streets. The area offers a glimpse into rural Himalayan life with views of traditional architecture, public platforms (atiyalas), and the surrounding Dhauladhar mountain range.

The Taal was constructed before 1868 by the Nehar Committee, a village brotherhood whose meeting records date back to 1864. It forms an integral part of Pragpur's ancient water management system and has been continuously maintained by the same committee for over 150 years.

The pond serves as the cultural and social core of Pragpur village, functioning as a recreational space for villagers of all ages. It represents traditional community-based water management systems and is surrounded by significant heritage structures that reflect the architectural and cultural heritage of the Kangra region.
