There will be hardly any market in the country or the world, where goldsmiths do not have a jewelry store. But there is a city in Himachal Pradesh where there is no single goldsmith shop. It is not that there is no demand for gold or silver in this city. The demand is so much that it can be estimated from here that only one kilometer in this city or in adjoining town, there are hundreds of small shops of goldsmiths in the other town. But there is no single shop of goldsmith in Baijnath of District Kangra.
Malkh Raj Mehta, former head of the Baijnath trade division, points out that this had been going on for a number of years that neither Dashera is celebrated nor is there any movement of gold silver. But this was just one thing heard and two to three people started this work in the seventies. But the shops were either burnt or there was so much loss that no one dared to start the shop here. Retired teacher Ramesh Chadha says that there is no proof that why this happens, but in some places it is linked to the Shiv temple located here.
