Shivalya Bachhretu is a peaceful, nice place located on Shivalaya Bachhretu western slope.
Shivalya is quite ancient.People who come to Baba Balak Nath, they do come to this temple.
There are many legends related to this temple, do you know any of it? Well it is said that lord shiva appeared here. The Bawdi is named shiv Bawadi because of the legend.
But Though I have no idea what the legend might be, but it is a very peaceful place as much as i have visited. Has anyone been there?
once upon a time Muni Vishshanandi Ji while coming from Bhakra come to this area, an old women lived near present temple she had a cow.
In that period, there was acute storage of water. This old women daily took her cow to the bank of Satluj, fed water to her & fetched one pot for her routine use. when Sant Vishshanand ji reached near women’s house he felt thirsty. He asked lady for water. She gave pot of water to Muni as he was extremely thirsty, he drank whole water.
Lady had to manage with that water till next day. She got furious over Muni. Mahatma started praying Ganga, as a result Ganga appeared & asked Muni the purpose of calling her. Muni told Ganga that there is scarcity of water so please do appear in this area, when Ganga was appearing in present Naun (large water body), that moment woman’s cow Ganga ran away.
Old lady shouted!! Stop!! Stop Ganga. The flow of Ganga alll only part, which appeared, continues to flow ceaselessly today also. Common belief is that rest of the water is seeping out from all sides of mountain. There are many water sources around the hill. People insisted Mahatma to stay there. He stayed & worshipped Lord Shiva.
The place is truly very peaceful..
