Bijli Mahadev Shrine

It is approximately 10km from Kullu across the Beas river, Bijli Mahadev temple is one of the striking temples in the temples strewn district.

It can be reached by a tough but rewarding climb of 10 kms. trek.

From the temple a panoramic view of Kulu & Paravati valleys can be seen. A 60 feet high staff of Bijli Mahadev temple glistens like a silver needle in the sun. in this temple of lightening it is said, the tall staff attracts the divine blessings in the form of lightening. The rest of the story can be heard from the priest, which is un-believable but true.

How many of the IL's have visited this place.. I am just very excited to hear their experience.

Hello... everyone.. I was just checking my post to find some replies..

Do you know a holy darshan of the temple requires a hefty voyage of three kilometers on foot, which is quite tiresome.

The uphill path towards this sacred shrine is flanked by pine trees that make the stride a pleasant one.

This temple holds an amazing but true story of its own. It says that Shivlinga in the temple had broken into pieces due to lightning and the temple priest adheres it with butter. It is quite unbelievable that this strange phenomena recurs every year. That is why the blessings are obtained from lightning.

This is amazing but true.
