The name Trilok Pur means a triangle of three Shakti Temples in the area. Each temple depicts a different face of the Goddess Durga. The main temple at Trilok Pur is the Temple of Bhagwati Tripur Bala Sundry, which depicts a childhood image of Durga. The second Temple, dedicated to Bhagwati Lalita Devi, is 3 km from Bala Sundry. The third temple’ is situated 13 km northwest of Bala Sundry temple.

In 1570, according to legend, a pindi (a sacred stone; regarded as a symbol of the goddess) appeared in a bag of salt, purchased by Sh Ram Dass. a local trader. It meant that Maa Balasundari Jee had appeared in the bag. Dass kept selling salt all day from the bag, but it always remained full.

The goddess then appeared in Dass' dream. She told him how she had disappeared from Devban and instructed him to build a Temple at Trilok Pur to establish her PINDI Swaroop (which already existed inside the bag of salt). She instructed Dass also directed to worship in the name of Mahamaya Balasundari – an infant state of Goddess Vaishno Devi. Dass did not have enough money to build a temple, so he approached the ruler of Sirmour state for funding. After getting the money, Dass started building the temple.

The king invited some artisans from Jaipur in 1570 AD to create the marble temple. It was finished and dedicated to Goddess Tripura Bala Sundri in 1573 AD. After the temple was completed, the royal family started worshipping Goddess Bala Sundri

In 1823, the temple was renovated by Maharaja Fateh Prakash and by Maharaja Raghubir Prakash in 1851.
