Cultural Heritage
Pehowa, known as Prithudaka in ancient texts, emerged as a pivotal center long before its designation as a National Heritage Site. Its strategic location along ancient trade routes and its sacred association with the Saraswati Tirtha rendered it a significant pilgrimage and commercial hub, particularly under the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. Inscriptions from the reign of Mihira Bhoja (9th century CE) specifically attest to Pehowa's prominence as a horse market (ghora-hattha) and a site for land grants, indicating its economic vitality and administrative importance. This era likely saw substantial patronage and development of the Kartikeya Temple, solidifying its position within the broader religious landscape of Haryana. The temple's architectural fabric, while rooted in the Late Gupta style, bears subtle imprints of subsequent periods, reflecting continuous rebuilding and adaptation. Following the decline of the Pratiharas, the region became a contested zone, experiencing the incursions of the Ghaznavids and later the Delhi Sultanate from the 11th century onwards. Such turbulent times often led to destruction and neglect of sacred structures. The very survival and continued veneration of the Kartikeya Temple through these tumultuous centuries underscore its deep-seated importance to the local populace and its resilience as a beacon of Sanatana Dharma amidst shifting political tides, influencing later regional temple architecture.
