Bijli Mahadev Temple (14 km & 2,460 m) : Kullu
It is one of the most important deities of the Valley. A legend holds that the temple flag-staff attracts lightning, which sometimes shatters the holy shivling. The sacred shivling returns to its original form on application of a paste of butter and barley-gram.
