Temple at the top of mountain
Recently while coming back from Shimla to Chandigarh, my brother and I, choose the road which is usually not travel much cause of the deep curves and slopes and it is called Rajgarh road.I was curious to know about it and I have never travelled this road before. So let's explore more about it together.
After travelling up to 5 km on the road towards Solan we reached a place with seemed confusing, there were huge mountains all around and river flowing in between. And on top of the Mountain there was a temple, usually in Himachal you will see that on peaks of the mountain there is always a temple dedicated to deity of area. Believe that they protect the whole area from the negative energy and make sure no mis- happening take place.
It was an empty with rocky and barren and mountains all around. The rough terrain of the mountains were making the road looks more dangerous. Also let's not forget to appreciate the beauty of this mountains and the blue sky making it more picturesque and majestic.
The more dangerous the road becomes the more beautiful the view get. We didn't stopped here we wanted to know more and explore more about the areas so we can driving until we reached a place where we saw you buildings around the river. Got out of the car and started to take pictures and look all around. The place was magical in itself.
Moving further we saw this huge Temple in front of us and it was dedicated to Lord Shiva.Red colour flags on the top, were adding to the beauty of the temple. Red colour has deep spiritual significance and it is believe to evoke the power of the deity and protect everybody.
Inside this Temple there was a small Temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and surprisingly there were lots of monkey all around the temple and I was unable to take pictures as it's not safe and they will take your phone.
This area is quite remote and you will not see much people here, only those who belong to the area and those who wants to take blessing from the Lord Shiva visit And yes, let's just appreciate how clean the temple looks.
From a distance I saw lots of people near the bank of river doing some rituals. Made me curious and I wanted to know more about it so I when closer to it.
Temple Near the bank of river
To my surprise I saw a temple near the bank of river and there was a couple getting married in that Temple. They were fully dressed in Indian attire and they look so beautiful even from the distance.
Spotted a newly married couple
Along with the couple there were few other peoples and they are devotees and close relatives of the bride and the groom. In married at a temple is believe to bring you luck prosperity and good health. And also its cheap and does not consume much time.
The deep blue river
The river was not that broad but it was definitely deep. In the picture, you can see the blue water of the river. As the area is remote the beauty of nature is undisturbed here.
Goats on our way
After exploring the area, get going on the road and we saw herd coming on our way. Well it was a lovely surprise and its really rare.The Shepherd told us that he is taking care of these goats from last 15 years. Wrong with them hemu from places to places and sell the milk of the goat which is healthy and full of vitamins and protein.
Finally after exploring the area we started our journey back to Chandigarh. Have to go through the mountain that I have shared in the picture above, by crossing a bridge. That's all for today's blog and pictures are taken by me with my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra. Hope you enjoyed.
