The temple at Osla was constructed by the inhabitants of Saur
In his quest for the Pandavas during their fourteen-year period of exile, Duryodhana reached the Jaunsar- Bawal regions in the Garhwal Himalaya. The enthralling beauty of this region compelled him to stay here with his entourage. He appealed to Lord Mahasu, the reigning God of these climes to bless him with a piece of the valley, where he may reign and look after the affairs of the people. He was permitted to do so by divine will.

About 13 km from Sankri, on the steep mountainous trail to Har Ki Doon, the temple at Osla, dedicated to Duryodhana, was built by the inhabitants of Saur. Hillfolk of the upper river valleys of the Tons, Yamuna, Bhagirathi, Balganga, and Bhilganga also engage in the worship of this foremost Kaurava king, as also the residents of Jakhol, Osla, Gangar, and Datmir.

When the Kauravas were defeated and Duryodhana was killed in the epic war of Kurukshetra, his followers wept profusely. Their tears became the river called Tamas, which means sorrow, known currently as the Tons River.

The Sayanas and the Bajgis of the Jaunsar-Bawar district of the Garhwal Himalaya along with the head pujari, reverentially carry the icon of their God and protector, the ‘notorious’ Duryodhana from Jakhol on the 21st of Ashada month. From here on the idol travels to the Fitari village in Mori district, then to Kotegaon, thereafter to Datmir and after 20 days the colourful doli procession culminates at Osla. On the 15th day of Pausha the idol is welcomed back at Jakhol where a euphoric celebration awaits him with pipes and drums playing devotional hill melodies.
