The festival becomes a great gathering of the Gods from the temples all around the valley these Gods come to pay homage to Raghunathji, the presiding deity of Kullu with the blowing of trumpets and the beating of drums, they come from different directions.

Locals believe that Ravana was devotee of Lord Shiva and burning his effigy will invite the wrath of Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.

Manikaran is located in the Parvati Valley on river Parvati, northeast of Bhuntar in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh. It is at an altitude of 1760 m and is located about 35 km from Kullu.
This small town attracts tourists visiting Manali and Kullu to its hot springs and pilgrim centres. An experimental geothermal energy plant has also been set up here.
Manikaran is a pilgrimage centre for Hindus and Sikhs. The Hindus believe that Manu recreated human life in Manikaran after the flood, making it a sacred area. It has many temples and a gurudwara. There are temples of the Hindu deities Rama, Krishna, and Vishnu. The area is well known for its hot springs[3] and its beautiful landscape.
According to legend, when the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati were walking in the valley, Parvati dropped one of her earrings. The jewel was seized by Shesha, the serpent deity, who then disappeared into the earth with it. Shesha only surrendered the jewel when Shiva performed the cosmic dance, the Tandava and shot the jewel up through the water. Apparently, jewels continued to be thrown up in the waters at Manikaran until the earthquake of 1905.
According to the Sikhs, during third Udasi, the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak came to this place in 15 Asu 1574 Bikrami with his disciple Bhai Mardana. Mardana felt hungry and they had no food. Guru Nanak sent Mardana to collect food for the langar (the Community Kitchen). Many people donated atta (flour) to make Roti(bread). The one problem was that there was no fire to cook the food.Guru Nanak asked Mardana to lift a stone and he complied and a hot spring appeared. As directed by Guru Nanak, Mardana put the rolled chapatis in the spring to his despair the chapatis sank.Guru Nanak then told him to pray to God saying that if his chapatis float back then he would donate one chapati in His name. When he prayed all the chapatis started floating duly baked.Guru Nanak said that anyone who donates in the name of God, his drowned items float back.
During their stay here, Goddess Parvati lost her mani (precious stones[5]) in the waters of a stream. Upset over the loss, she asked Shiva to retrieve it. Lord Shiva commanded his attendant to find the mani for Parvati. However, when they failed, he was extremely angry. He opened his third eye, a tremendously inauspicious event which led to disturbances in the universe. An appeal was made before the serpent god, Sheshnag, to pacify Lord Shiva. Sheshnag hissed thereby giving rise to a flow of boiling water. The water spread over the entire area resulting in the emergence of precious stones of the type Goddess Parvati had lost. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were happy at the outcome.
The name Manikaran is derived from this legend. The water is still hot and is considered extremely auspicious.
Lord Ramchandra Temple - The temple was constructed by Raja Jagat Singh in the 17th century.
Temple of Lord Shiva - This temple is hugely revered as it belongs to Lord Shiva. However, an earthquake in 1905 caused damage to the temple and it was slightly tilted. The importance of Manikaran is also judged from the fact that devtas of Kullu valley pay regular visit to this place on specified dates.
Approximate Distances from:
Kullu-Manali Airport at Bhuntar: 37 km
Kullu town: 45 km
Manali town: 85 km.
Parvati valley is highly notorious for its cultivation of cannabis. Tourists, mostly foreigners, openly buy and consume hashish (hash/charas) even though it is illegal, giving it a name the hash capital of India. Malana
Malana is an ancient village to the north-east of Kullu Valley. This solitary village in the Malana Nala, a side valley of the Parvati Valley, is isolated from the rest of the world. At an altitude of 9,938 feet above sea level lies the village of Malana also known as the village of Taboos. This village in the state of Himachal Pradesh is a magical green rimmed village that overlooks the Deotiba and Chandrakhani Peaks. Malana village is connected to Kulu by three mountain passes.
Kullu royal family heirs in full royal attire and regalia: Kullu Dussehra
A procession of revellers from across Himachal Pradesh converge at the Kullu maidan, for the Kullu Dussehra festivities to begin. Some people carry the palanquins of the gods, others get into a trance as they help, and a range of indigenous Himachali musical instruments is played as accompaniment. Drums, a thonkru (large brass or other metal) local Himachali instrument, pipes, trumpet like instruments and an unusual S-shaped instrument are on display. The procession moves from the pagoda like temple at Dhumri and awaits the arrival of the goddess of Hadimba before which the festivities cannot begin. Hadimba arrives in a tighly packed procession and gets moved along with the flow of the crowds.
The Kullu royal family's descendents are in full force, in their royal regalia, attire and jewellery.
Nothing demonstrates this relationship better than the festival of Dussehra. Ostensibly Dussehra commemorates the victory of Rama over Ravana, a triumph of good over evil. This enactment from the epic Ramayana is celebrated all over India but it is here in Kullu that the celebrations have their own significance.
The festival becomes a great gathering of the Gods from the temples all around the valley these Gods come to pay homage to Raghunathji, the presiding deity of Kullu with the blowing of trumpets and the beating of drums, they come from different directions.
The priests and dependents of the royal family of Kullu await their turn to pay obeisance.

Kullu dushara ...(2017)
Kullu valley in Himachal Pradesh is home to a number of natural and cultural wonders, from the scenic Himalayan mountains that surround it and the majestic Beas River to the temples and shrines dedicated to the local gods and goddesses. And on Dussehra, all these gods and goddesses come together in a massive celebration. The Kullu Dussehra festival falls on the same day as Dussehra does for the rest of India. This year, Dussehra 2017 falls on September 30. ALSO READ: Dussehra 2017 Celebration in India: Here’s How India Celebrates Dasara
Kullu Dussehra celebrates, like the rest of the country, the victory of the Hindu god Rama over Ravana, as told in the ancient epic Ramayana. But while the rest of India burns Ravana, Kullu Dussehra celebrates and honors Rama himself in the form of Raghunathji, the presiding deity of the Raghunathji Temple in Kullu. This temple is the center of all celebrations, though most of the activities happen at the Dhalpur Maidan in Kullu. For a week, the local gods and goddesses of nearby villages and towns in Kullu are brought to the temple to honor the god and give their blessings. Travelers from around the world come to witness a side of the valley that locals otherwise keep to themselves.
Kullu Valley
The festival’s origin can be traced back to the 17th century, during the reign of the king Jagat Singh. The king is said to have incurred the wrath of a peasant, Durgadutt, in his vain search for some precious pearls. Cursed and ridden with guilt, he sought the advice of a sage, who told him of the idol of Raghunathji in Ayodhya, the kingdom of Rama. With the king’s blessings, the sage went forth to retrieve the idol from the city.
The sage eventually reached the city, took the idol and started his journey back, resting beside the Saryu River along the way. But by then, the citizens of Ayodhya had found out about the missing idol and caught up with the sage. When they got back the idol, however, they found that the idol got heavier as it was taken back to Ayodhya, and lighter as it moved towards Kullu. Seeing this as a sign from the gods, the sage was allowed to pass, and the king eventually got rid of his curse. Since then, the gods and goddesses have come to the temple every Dussehra to pay their respects to the god. CHECK OUT: Dussehra 2017: Top 8 Places To Visit During Vijayadashami

Bijli Mahadev Mandir Secrets | Lord Shiva Temple Mysteries | Kullu Manali | YOYO Unsolved Mysteries
Bijli Mahadev is one of the sacred temples of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is located at an altitude of about 2,460m in the Kullu valley. Bijli Mahadev is one of the excellent temples in India. Located 22 km from Kullu across the Beas river, it can be approached by a rewarding trek of 3 km.
A panoramic view of Kullu and Paravati valleys can be seen from the temple. The 60 feet high staff of Bijli Mahadev temple glistens like a silver needle in the sun.
In this temple of lightning, it is said that the tall staff attracts the divine blessings in the form of lightning. It is believed that the priest of the temple has to restore the Shiva linga placed inside the temple using butter and sattoo after every lightning as it shatters to pieces with a flash of lightning.
Bijli Mahadev is located near Kullu (headquarters of Kullu district) in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. This is a hill station located at a height of 7500ft. The name of the hill where Bijli Mahadev temple is situated is called Mathan and is surrounded by Parbati, Garsa, Bhunter and Kullu valleys. There is a Shiva temple on top of the hill. There is a small village just down below the temple and the name of the village is also called Bijli Mahadev. People in this village take care of the maintenance aspects of the temple.
This place is full of mystery and miracles. The name comes from the fact that, the lightening (Bijli) strikes the Shiva linga inside the temple and breaks into pieces. The Shiva ling (Mahadev) will be joined together and installed in a special occasion using a locally made adhesive. One can witness the charred part (especially on the walls) inside the temple which is due to the flames resulted during lightning. Devotees can give offerings in the Hundi only kept inside the temple. Some puja articles are available inside the temple without any additional cost. Photography is not restricted anywhere in the place.
Opposite to the temple there are small stone statues situated and one can perform pooja there too. A 20mtr tall pole is installed which has got some interesting story. The pole is made of Deodar tree in a nearby forest area. Once in a while during special occasions the pole will be replaced by another one made from the tallest Deodar tree found in the forest. The local villagers and people from surrounding places come together to replace the pole and is a festival celebration for all of them. The tree is carved in the square shape and fixed firm in the place. People feel that this is an opportunity for getting blessing from Lord Shiva and consider this activity as serving God.
The place is too scenic due to the location of the temple which is at the top most end of the Mathan hill. There are mobile towers beside the temple (downside) towards Parvati valley. BSNL and Airtel connections were working very well (as on May 2010). A newly constructed building is meant for accommodation (rest rooms) for the visitors just beside the temple. There is no fixed price (rate not available) for the accommodation. 10 people can stay at a time in the building. Free Tea is served for all the visitors.

Then, come to Ramshilla from Kullu which is very nearby (approx. 1Kms) and cross the bridge which is for crossing Beas river to go towards Bhunter or Manikaran. Just after crossing the bridge, ask any local person to travel towards Bijli Mahadev hill. The road is towards Bhuntar and one has to take left side road (instead of going straight which goes towards Bhuntar) to climb the hill. From Ramshilla motorable road is available till parking place which is 20Kms after Chansari village. From Chansari village parking place is 5Kms. Parking fee has to be given. From this place 3-4 Kms trekking to be done to reach Bijli Mahadev. Trekking duration is 2-3 hrs with 3-4 rest points. Himachal transportation buses available at Kullu bus station to reach Bijli Mahadev (upto Chansari or parking place before trekking place).

After climbing the steps, a plane area is available where localities have set up some private canteens. Good Chinese food, Momo is available here. There is a tank nearby which is the water source for the temple area.
People who cannot trek, there is one more motorable road to reach Bijli Mahadev from Naggar side via Jana Waterfall. One has to reach Naggar from Kullu or Manali.

About/History :
Hadimba Temple
The Hadimba Devi temple was built in 1553 AD by Maharaja Bahadur Singh. The temple is built around a cave where Devi Hidimba performed meditation. Hidimbi was supposed to have lived there with her brother Hidimb, and not much is known about their parents. Born into a Rakshasa family, Hidimba vowed to marry one who would defeat her brother Hidimb, who was supposed to be very brave and fearless. During the Pandava's exile, when they visited Manali; Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, killed Hidimb. Thereafter, Hidimba married Bhima and gave birth to their son Ghatotkacha.
Vashisht Temple & Hot Springs:
Vashisht Temple Manali-Approx 4000 years old Historic Vashisht Temple at Manali. It is said that Beas Kund in Manali is the origin point of the mighty Beas River. Vashisht Manali is dedicated to the great sageVashisht.
Very old Vashistha Kund & Temple at Manali

Locals and tourists love to visit this place which gives a tremendous view of nature and provide inner satisfaction deep in the sole.
Vashisht Temple Manali History & Vashisht Bath Manali
Vashistha village is extremely significant when it comes to the heritage Indian Hindu culture as one of the saptrishis, Rishi Vashistha stayed there for sometimes. There is a hot water spring known as Vashisht kund. According to legend the saddened Rishi Vashisht after knowing that his children were killed by Vishwamitra tried to commit suicide, but the river refused to kill him (refer to Wikipedia).
The river was therefore named as Vipasha which means ‘ freedom from bondage.’ It was later shortened to Beas River. He began mediating and vowed to start his new life. The Vashisht temple is believed to be more than 4000 years old.
Linkage of the place with Lord Rama
There is also an ancient stone temple of Lord Rama adjacent to the Vashisht temple. The place is an important Hindu Pilgrimage centre. The hot spring of the village is believed to have been created by Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Ram.
The creation of the spring is associated with the belief that since Lakshman, did not want the sage Vashisht to have to walk too far for a bath; he shot an arrow into the ground, and the hot springs emerged. Vashisht offers an excellent view of the Beas River and the Old Manali. The river valley spread below at sunset gives an excellent sight and perfect for photography.
The temple is dedicated to the Indian sage Manu, who is said to be the creator of the world and the writer of Manusmriti. There is no actual evidence when the temple was constructed but in 1992 it was reconstructed. The charming location of the temple near the bank of Beas River which is surrounded by the old village of Manali makes it a complete pack of an attractive natural spot.
Visit Timings: Vashist Temple: 7 am to 9 pm, Vashisht sacred baths: 7 am to 1 pm, and 2 pm to 9 pm on all days.

It is 45 kms. from Kullu, the district headquarter. It is 295 kms from Chandigarh, 435 kms from Amritsar, 225 kms from Shimla. It is well connected by road also.

There are temples of the Hindu deities Rama, Krishna, and Vishnu. The area is well known for its hot springs and its beautiful landscape.
According to legend, when the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati were walking in the valley, Parvati dropped one of her earrings. The jewel was seized by Shesha, the serpent deity, who then disappeared into the earth with it. Shesha only surrendered the jewel when Shiva performed the cosmic dance, the Tandava and shot the jewel up through the water. Apparently, jewels continued to be thrown up in the waters at Manikaran until the earthquake of 1905.
Sikh belief
According to the Sikhs, during third Udasi, his founder Guru Nanak came to this place in 15 Asu 1574 Bikrami with his disciple Bhai Mardana. Mardana felt hungry and they had no food. Nanak sent Mardana to collect food for the langar (the Community Kitchen). Many people donated atta (flour) to make Roti(bread). The one problem was that there was no fire to cook the food. Nanak asked Mardana to lift a stone and he complied and a hot spring appeared. As directed by Nanak, Mardana put the rolled chappatis in the spring to his despair the chappatis sank. Nanak then told him to pray to God saying that if his chappatis float back then he would donate one chappati in His name. When he prayed all the chappatis started floating duly baked. Nanak said that anyone who donates in the name of God, his drowned items float back.
Hindu belief
The legend of Manikaran states that while roaming around, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, once chanced upon a place that was surrounded by mountains and was lush green. Enamoured by the beauty of the place, they decided to spend some time there. It is believed that they actually spent eleven hundred years here.
During their stay here, Goddess Parvati lost her mani in the waters of a stream. Upset over the loss, she asked Shiva to retrieve it. Lord Shiva commanded his attendant to find out the mani for Parvati, however, when they failed, he was extremely angry. He opened his third eye, a tremendously inauspicious event which led to disturbances in the universe. An appeal was made before the serpent god, Sheshnag, to pacify Lord Shiva. Sheshnag hissed thereby giving rise to a flow of boiling water. The water spread over the entire area resulting in the emergence of precious stones of the type Goddess Parvati had lost.

Hidimba Devi Temple | Manali | Dhungari Temple
Address: Hadimba Temple Road, Old Manali, Manali, Himachal Pradesh 175131
As Per Wikipedia :
Hidimba Devi Temple, locally known as Dhungari Temple,[1] also known variously as the Hadimba Temple, is located in Manāli, a hill station in the State of Himāchal Pradesh in north India. It is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, wife of Bhima, a figure in the Indian epic Mahābhārata. The temple is surrounded by a cedar forest called Dhungiri Van Vihar at the foot of the Himālayas. The sanctuary is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground which was worshiped as an image of the deity. The structure was built in 1553.
History :
The Hidimba devi temple was built in 1553 AD by Maharaja Bahadur Singh.[3] The temple is built around a cave where Devi Hidimba performed meditation. Hidimbi was supposed to have lived there with her brother Hidimb, and not much is known about their parents. Born into a Rakshasa family, Hidimba vowed to marry one who would defeat her brother Hidimb, who was supposed to be very brave and fearless. During the Pandava's exile, when they visited Manali; Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, killed Hidimb. Thereafter, Hidimba married Bhima and gave birth to their son Ghatotkacha.
A Mahabharat narration :
The Indian epic Mahabharata narrates that the Pāndavas stayed in Himachal during their exile. In Manali, the strongest person there, named Hidimba and brother of Hidimdi, attacked them, and in the ensuing fight Bhima, strongest amongst the Pandavas, killed him. Bhima and Hidimba's sister, Hidimbi, then got married and had a son, Ghatotkacha, (who later proved to be a great warrior in the war against Kauravas). When Bhima and his brothers returned from exile, Hidimbi did not accompany him, but stayed back and did tapasyā (a combination of meditation, prayer, and penance) so as to eventually attain the status of a goddess.

Kullu Dusshera me shri Ram g ka shingaar krte huye
According to the mythology, Kullu was under the control of Raja Jagat Singh in the 16th century. At some point he got to know that someone by the name of Durgadutt had charming pearls. The Raja tried everything to have that pearls. Though Durgadutt made him clear that the information was not correct, all his requests were hopeless. He offered him the last chance of giving the pearls but he did not and as a result Durgadutt set himself and his own family on fire and cursed the Raja Jagat Singh for his brutality. Thereafter, he felt guilty and took advice form a Brahmin. The sacred man asked him to get back the statue of Lord Raghunath from the kingdom of Lord Ram. Worried, the Raja decided to send the Brahmin to Ayodhya.
One day, he took the statue and started his way back trip to Kullu. When the locals of Ayodhya came to know that the idol of Lord Raghunath was missing, they left in search of him. The people found the Brahmin with Raghunath ji on the banks of Saryu River. Then he started telling them the story of the king. When the people picked up the idol while heading towards Ayodhya it was heavy, but to their amazement the idol became light as they moved to Kullu. When the Brahmin reached Kullu, the idol of Raghunath ji was installed. Subsequently, the king had a sip of the Charan-Amrit of the statue of the Raghunath ji and the curse was repealed. This myth is associated with the Kullu Dusshera.

Bhadrachalam Temple - Bhadra Maharishi Mokhsha Sthala.
Bhadrachalam (Telugu: భద్రాచలము), is a Pilgrimage town of importance and a Municipality in Khammam district, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is located 312 kilometres (194 mi) east of state capital, Hyderabad. It is situated on the banks of the river Godavari, is an important site of pilgrimage for Hindus.The town is famous for it's temple where the presiding deity is Lord Rama.
The temple is associated with puranic and historic facts. According to a legend, there was a rishi (sage) named Bhadra, son of Meru, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama, who was promised moksha by Him. Bhadra Maharishi did intense penance until Tretha yuga was over and Lord Rama, who was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was back to his original avatar. Pleased by Bhadra's devotion, He appeared in the form of Lord Rama (as per Bhadra's wishes) and granted him moksha. This explains the unique form of the deity at Bhadrachalam. The hillock on which Bhadra Maharishi did penance and attained moksha, is called Bhadragiri / Bhadrachalam after the rishi. Another legend associated with the place is that Lord Rama once appeared in the dream of a woman called Pokala Sammakka and informed her about the existence of idols on the Bhadragiri hills. To the astonishment of the woman, the idols were found on the hill, where she got a modest structure built.
The story of Sri Ramachandra which has been sung in immortal verse by Sage Valmiki and which has been the main repository for all the later Kavyas to draw their themes is very well known. At the spot where the Bhadrachalam temple stands, it is said, Sri Ramachandra himself lived for some time, before Ravana carried Seeta away.
The popular legend is that at this spot a sage by name Bhadra was living at the time of Sri Rama's sojourn, and Sri Rama, being pleased with the intense Tapas and Bhakti of this sage, came here specially to give him Darshan and liberation.
That is why the place is called Bhadrachalam in memory of the Saint Bhadra.The worship of Sri Rama is as ancient as temple worship in this land. The great Itihasa Ramayana by Saint Valmiki itself has the sanctity of scripture to the Hindus. The same story has been sung and popularized by Tulsidas in Hindi in his Ramcharit Manas and by Kamban in Tamil.
Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha also has as its main theme the life and history of the Ikshwaku race in which Sri Ramachandra was born. In the Atharvaveda there are two Upanishads, one called the Rama Tapini Upanishad, which glorifies the name of SriRama, and another called the Rama Rahasya Upanishad, where several Rama Mantras are revealed for the first time.
Bhadrachalam is considered as a sacred place and the second famous Lord Rama Kshetra after Ayodhya in India Sri Lakshmana Sametha Seeta Ramachandra Swamy, Bhadrachalam.It is the best pilgrim centre in Andhra Pradesh after Tirupati. The speciality of this temple is the main Deity faces westside towards river Godavari. The temple at Bhadrachalam is located on a small hillock. The main Deity (moolaviraat) of Lord Rama has distinctive features here. He is in the Padmasana pose with four hands, holding the bow and arrow in the front two hands, and Conch(Shankam) and Wheel(Chakram) in the rear hands. The Sankha is held in the right hand and the Chakra in the left. To the left of Sri Rama is Sita and Lakshmana is on her left, he is also known as Vaikuntha Rama.
The Sikhara is crowned with Sudarsana Chakra, which Ramadas got from the Godavari. The eight-faced Chakra with thousand corners contains Sudarsana Murthi, engraved in the centre. Nearby in the temple complex stands three pillars — Ramakoti Kratu Sthamba among the 108 such pillars installed in various pilgrim centres in this country by Sri Ramanujar.On the sides of the pillars are carved inscriptions of Samkshipta Ramayana in Sanskrit in Devanagari script. One of the pillars contains the verses from Dasarathi Sataka written by Ramadas with a white marble stone of his image in front.
Another Unique feature of this Temple town is there are two Kshetra Palakas for the main temple. Those are:
