Basahiya
History
There is evidence that indicate Balthra is the first site of this village. The name Basahiya is derived from the Hindu marriage custom known as basgari, which is related to the marriage of Lord Sita. There is a belief among locals that Basahiya was established by a sadhu who placed their kutti at Balthara Pond and that the relatives of this sadhu are still present in the village. Residents worship their ancestors every year at the pond. It is said that the sadhu had gone into pond's water For seven days and then he finally gets water mausoleum. Since then some kind of spiritual waves are being realized here.
The ancient Guthi of Basahiya was also named after this Balthara Pond, as indicated by Balthara Birtha Guthi in the Tama Patra of बसहिया मंठ. A sculpture of Baal Bhagwan (Child Krishna), believed to be made of precious metals, was found here and later removed by the government.
