Manikaran Hot Springs

    Manikaran Hot Springs, located in the Parvati Valley near Kasol in Himachal Pradesh, are famous for their naturally occurring hot water springs. These springs are a major attraction for both tourists and pilgrims visiting the region. According to Hindu and Sikh legends, the hot springs were created when Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati lost their earrings, which caused the water to boil and create the springs. The hot water is believed to have therapeutic properties, attracting visitors who seek relief from ailments and enjoy a rejuvenating experience. The springs are located within the premises of the Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara and the nearby Shiva Temple, adding to their religious significance. Pilgrims bathe in the hot springs as part of their spiritual rituals, and the water is used for cooking langar (community meals) at the gurudwara. The combination of spiritual reverence and natural wonder makes Manikaran Hot Springs a unique destination.
