We feel proud that we are born in Batal, Batal means vat + tal a area of bottom of wind. Chhoti kashi is another name for Batal which means a area where people are having a good knowlegde of Dharma,veda, shashtra, upnishad, mimansa,astrology etc. But these days time has changed a lot as only few people are believing in these real value. New generation does not know anything about their culture and heritage, all these things are new to them. Batalashware shivling is one of the famous temple in this area which is situated in batal village, it is 400 years old and very popular in solan district but unfortunately this is not coming in heritage.
