Description
NOTE 1: Berinag (Bering, Bherang N29°48': E080°04' nima.mil/geonames accessed 16.11.2003) or N29°47': E080°04': 4500 or 5000 feet (circa 1425 ±150 m asl, AMS sheet NH44-10 Almora, U502 series, 1958 edition) between the valleys of the Sarju and Ram Ganga (Ramganga) rivers.
A »tunnel« of dubious nature drains the entire flow of the Bhadrakali (Bhadravati, Bhadrawati) river below Bhadrakali temple. SITUATION: »Four miles [6 km on foot west] from Berinag [note 1] is the village Nargoli [N29°47': E079°59'30”] situated on the road to Bageshvar [N29°51': E079°46']. A mile away [one or two kilometres in an unspecified direction] from this village, situated on the top of a hill is the temple of Bhadrakali, where the river Bhadrakali or Bhadravati flows through a tunnel under the hill and the view is grand« (PRANAVANANDA 1949: 95).
