Embrace the Beauty of this Astonishing Temple

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting a beautiful and ancient temple in Himachal Pradesh, which is one of the mountainous and heavenly states of India.

Giving a brief distribution of the state, Himachal Pradesh is a place accepted by tourists all throughout the year, there is no such thing as an off season here; and why not who wants to miss such a place which is so diverse in flora and fauna, so culturally rich, has so much history attached to it and people who are so vividly helpful and kind. The state is covered by forests in nearly 70% of its area.

Himachal, basically means Him - Snow and Achal - Lap.

The states having population of 6.85 million in the year 2012, is a home to various temples of gods and goddess.

Now coming to this temple I visited lately.

I got a chance to click some pictures here, which I would be displaying in this blog post; I had a chat with a person about the history of the temple, I would share that as well.

The temple is said to be made by a powerful king, for giving respect to Lord Shiva. The statue of Lord Shiva resides here. According to the stories, the temple was built completely of gold. Everything around was also made of gold. Once, a greedy man came to the temple, he tried to axe the gold. But, as he went about doing this, gold started turning into stone. The present status of the temple is an outcome of that incident.

Presently, one can always find water flowing at steady pace across the temple walls, nature or magic I would leave that to you to decide. 

Here is a picture of the temple from inside. Giving an insight of the picture; the small drums are the instruments of lord Shiva, the red flags signify the religion and the decorations are done to keep the place enthusiastic, energetic and devoted to lord Shiva.

 There are big boulders outside the temple which obstruct the flow of river.

The conical dome, white in color can be seen in the center right of the picture; there is an old bridge in the picture which was used for transportation a few years ago, a new bridge has been constructed now. The soil color water is due to heavy rainfalls in this region.

This is picture which says a lot about the religious aspect of this place, the market her is full of items related to gods and goddesses.

One more thing that I would like to bring into count is, there is an endless supply of clean drinkable water here, so the travelers never feel thirsty.

Feel like visiting this divine place; here is the exact location - Click
