Detail InformationEdit

Amin fort is situated at a higher level than the rest of the village. People say that this fort belonged to Abhimanyu, the son of Arjun in the Mahabharat times. Folklore also says that the Pandavas arrayed their forces before the last battle in the war of Mahabharat at Amin. Another interesting fact about the village is that there is a “tirth-sthal” (holy spot) called “Surya Kund”, where Mother Aditi gave birth to the Sun God (Surya Dev). This spot is said to be empowered by the hard worship of 86000 “Rishi-Munis” and the villagers generally leave the “asthi (mortal remains after the pyre is burnt) kalash” after cremation in that sarovar (kund) even though other Hindus take them to the Ganges in Haridwar. A strong myth prevails that if any pregnant lady takes a bath in that holy kund, then the upcoming male child will have excellent qualities like bravery and power. Aaditi Tirath and Abhimanu Tila in Amin are famous pilgrimage in the village.
