DEHRA

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 932 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DEHRA , a town of British India, headquarters of the Dehra Dun
district
  in the United Provinces. Pop. (1901) 28,095. It lies at an
elevation
  of 2300 ft. Here the Hardwar-Dehra railway terminates. Dehra is the headquarters of the Trigonometrical Survey and of the Forest Department, besides being a cantonment for a Gurkha force. The Forest School, which trains subordinate forest officials for all parts of India, is a fine building. Attached to it is an institution for the scientific study of sylvi-culture and the exploitation and administration of forests. The town of Dehra grew up round the temple built in 1699 by the heretical
Sikh
  Guru, Ram Rai, the founder of the Udasi sect of Ascetics. This temple is a remarkable building in
Mahommedan
  style. The central
block
 , in imitation of the emperor Jahangir's tomb, contains the bed on which the Guru, after dying at will and coming back to
life
  several times, ultimately died outright; it is an
object
  of
great
  veneration. At the corners of the central
block
  are smaller monuments commemorating the Guru's wives.
