Bijli Mahadev :
Travel by a car from Manali to Kinja. Start the trek from there. It is a 4 kms moderate trek from here upto Bijli Mahadev. Return back to the same way to Manali. The temple is situated at an altitude of 2,438 m i.e. 8000 feet. It is almost 12 km from Kullu across the Beas River. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that the lightening attracts the divine blessings of God.The most striking feature that is unique to this temple is the 60-foot high staff on top of the temple. There is a famous story behind the temple. It says that every year there is a frightful lightening, because of which the Shivalinga in the temple gets reduced to pieces. This happens because when the lightening strikes the earth, it is believed that the Lord Shiva absorbs all the energy discharged from the atmosphere and saves the world. Due to this act the linga turns into pieces and the temple priests in secrecy restore it. The idol is coalesced with the help of butter and satto. This the cycle goes on every year and hence the name, Bijli Mahadev Temple.
