hi this is Bablu.... Manali in Himachal Pradesh, India derived its name from Manavalaya i.e. the abode of Manu. According to myth, Manu the divine law-giver, was the only survivor of the Mahajal Pralay - the great flood - and is said to have fathered the human race. He certainly chose enchanting environs. Manali still maintains its charm and beauty. With the majestic grandeur of the Himalayas on one side, river Beas cutting across the town, verdant valleys with rolling meadows and grazing herds dotting the hillsides, apple orchards and the folk music adding romance to the ambience and presenting a wondrous canvas to the traveller. Experience the local color and beauty in Kullu-Manali's temples, quaint villages and the vibrant and festive mood of the people and their colorful clothes and handicrafts. Or encounter adventure; on the myriad trekking trails and routes, while skiing on the snow slopes, rafting down the Beas or just as you try your hand at some amateurish angling. Discover for yourself the Kullu Valley, going upto the Rohtang Pass at 13050 feet and encompassing the beautiful Manali in-between, nestled between the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges. As its magical charms enamour, you ebulliently agree that it has rightly been christened as the "Valley of the Gods".

müslüm gürses - kullu harap oldum yarap

OUr trip to kullu manali was awesome, with my hubby and family. it took 10 hours to reach kullu from panipat...but was worth it! Located in Himachal Pradesh, 40 kms. away from Kulu to the north, Manali is situated near the end of the valley on the National Highway leading to Leh. The landscape here is breath taking. its also called the switzerland of India. Manali has spectacular views of snowcapped peaks and wooded slopes. The Beas river rushes along its rocky course amid grassy meadows carpeted with wild flowers and wagtails hop along from stone to stone along the stream's edge. There are apple orchards and fairy-tale forests of deodar and pine tree.

Bijli Mahadev is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Bijli in Hindi Language means Lightening and Mahadev is a name for Lord Shiva. As such Bijli Mahadev is meant as The Temple of Lord Shiva where lightening strikes. Infect here almost every year the lightening strikes the temple. The story is this that at Temple, there is high mast of Pine tree stem which is used as a symbol of Temple and is flagged. This mast attracts Lightening This temple is also at much height at Hill top and in winter it is closed and abandoned. In summer when it is opened, it is found that the lightening had stuck the mast and the Lord Shiva Lingam is broken to pieces and pieces get scattered here and there in temple premises. The priest of temple and the locals who gather at the opening, trace out all the pieces of Shiva Lingam, join those all with pure Butter. As the temperature even in summer is below the melting point of butter, the pieces join and Lord Shiva Lingam is shaped properly. Till all the pieces are not found, the temple worshipping does not start and ultimately all the pieces are traced some how. This tradition is going on since centuries and as such the temple is very famous. Further the temple is actually very beautiful with old wood carving make is very impressive for the visitors. The temple is at Hill top and a plain ground is there make it very scenic, the panorama around is very magical and one call see the Manali and Rohtang Tops, Kullu City and Bhoonter Airfields from here. The place is worth seeing. One has to track on foot and climb the top of the hill for about three four kilometers.
