Kullu has a long and illustrious history. It also has one of India’s most gorgeous temples. Bijli Mahadev Temple distinguishes out among the other temples for its serenity and scenic beauty. It is at a height of 2460 metres above sea level. Lord Shiva appears as a Shiva Lingam in this temple, which is design in the “Kash” style. After crossing the Beas River, the temple is easily accessible. It is 22 kilometres from Kullu while travel to Himachal Pradesh Tour. The temple’s higher position provides a panoramic view of the Paravati and Kullu valleys.
Bijli Mahadev’s gleaming 60-foot staff may be seen from a long way away. According to mythology, this temple gets struck by Bijli once a year. For this reason the shrine is famous as Bijli Mahadev Temple. The Bijli has twisted the Shiva Linga’s location. The temple priest uses sattoo and butter as a glue to reattach it.
You’ll have to climb 3 kilometres uphill, which is quite tough, to reach to this temple. It is a basic hike for people who are younger.
