Priya & Prashant Manore's video: Early morning is the best time to visit hadimbadevitemple in manali himachal shorts hillstation

An early morning at Hadimba Devi Temple, was the perfect start to our Sunday. For those unfamiliar with manali, this ancient temple, is a significant religious and historical site nestled in dense cedar forests. Built in 1553 by Maharaja Bahadur Singh, it is dedicated to Hidimbi, a figure from the Mahabharata who was the wife of Bhima. The temple's architecture is unique, blending the style of wooden pagodas with intricate carvings on its walls. Surrounded by towering deodar trees, it exudes an aura of serenity and mysticism, drawing devotees and tourists alike. The temple is built on a rock that is believed to be the image of Hidimbi herself, and it lacks an idol, which is quite unusual for Hindu temples. Every year, a grand festival is held to honor the goddess, adding to the spiritual and cultural importance of the site. The atmosphere here feels almost timeless, a blend of spirituality with the raw beauty of nature. The surrounding forests offer a perfect place for quiet reflection, while the temple itself serves as a reminder of India's deep mythological roots. Like always, we left feeling a sense of calm and reverence, touched by the ancient energies that seem to resonate in the air. . . . .
