Rait, Himachal Pradesh

In 1796, a temple was erected at Nerti in memory of the fallen king, and in 1799, an annual fair was instituted to observe his death anniversary.

The Kangri scholar Gautam Sharma Vyathit notes that the fair continues to be held every year in late June, both as a remembrance of Raja Raj Singh's self-sacrifice, and as a celebration of Kangra-Chamba friendship.

[10] Vyathit records that for decades prior to India's Independence in 1947, there used to be a large Sanskrit school at Rait village.

In the early 1970s, Swami shifted to Shahni's house in Rait village, where he would spend his last years, and pass away on February 4, 1978.

[16] In December 2023, the then Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu inaugurated the Block Development Office building at Rait.

[20] Chandu Lal Raina, an exponent of the Kangra school of painting and a descendent of Pandit Seu and Nainsukh, was settled in Rait.

In 1973, to revive Kangra painting, the Himachal Pradesh government started a training centre for young artists at Rait, with Chandu Lal Raina in charge as mentor.

[23] In Himachal Pradesh, the town of Palampur, and the villages of Rait and Samloti were known for making wooden toys, even till the late 1990s.
