| '''Dehra''' was a town of [[British Raj|British India]], currently a tehsil in [[Kangra district]] in [[Himachal]] [[States and territories of India|state]], [[India]].
| | {{R from merge}} |
| | |
| The River [[Beas River|Beas]] divides the town into Dehra & Gopipur.
| |
| | |
| Dehra is the oldest of Tehsil in Himachal Pradesh. As the town is fusion of two words Dehra & Gopipur both have a reason for the same.
| |
| | |
| The town of Dehra is as recent as mid 15th century when foreign invaders used this place as a '''DERA''' (camp) for their expedition to hill states. British made the evolving town as the tehsil in year 1868. The official name of the town during [[British Raj]] was '''Dera'''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gaz_atlas_1931/pager.php?object=41|title = -- Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 26, Atlas 1931 edition -- Digital South Asia Library}}</ref>

| |
| As River Beas flows from the sub town it ends up in the [[Pong Dam]] reservoir/lake, also known as [[Maharana Pratap Sagar]]. This man made lake is 45 km long & 15–18 km wide. It attracts a lot of anglers come for fishing mahasher fish.
| |
|
| |
| Dehra Town is so beautiful and it could become one of the most famous place among the historical place and it can also develop itself through various channels of development like National level Fairs, crafting etc.
