THE ARDHNARI TEMPLE - MANDI

The Gurdwara is situated just above the precipitous bank of the river Beas on the present motor road to Kulu. The Guru deliberately selected this secluded spot in spite of the request of Raja Sidh Sen who was anxious to lodge him as an honoured guest in his palace. Right in the bed of the river and just below the Gurdwara there is still to be seen a huge rocky boulder of a greenish grey color on which the Guru used to perform his spiritual devotions.

A quieter, cleaner and a more picturesque place could not have been chosen. This boulder has survived more than two centuries of corrosion by the waters of the rapid Beas, and apart from the superstition which usually winds itself round such objects, there seems no doubt that it will continue to greet the eyes of a devout- pilgrim for a very long time to come."
