BAJAURA - BASHESWAR MAHADEV TEMPLE

Set amidst the magnificent grandeur of the Himalayan mountain range with vast expanse of dazzling snow, and giving birth to rushing torrents and luxuriant forests, this Kullu Valley treasures up several temples for all the gods of Hindu Pantheon, like, Raghunath temple, Hadimba Devi temple, Bijli Mahadev temple etc. Though their traditions and customs appear a little bit bizarre, 'the devotion that springs up from this simple, yet devout folk merit high praise and great veneration.

Among the temples, deserving visitation, Bashesmar Mahadev temple is one and its architectural beauty is a standing specimen- of the Nagara type. Though its proportions are modest, the elegance exuding from the exterior sculptural ornamentation is commendable and highly enchanting.

This sacred Siva Mandir houses besides Sivalinga other Saivate gods. The rituals , and traditions are redolent of North Indian type, but they are not contradictory to the Saivagamas. This temple though situated very near the Bijh Mahadev temple, its attraction is great. Periodical festivals draw huge crowds.

It is in Bajaura 15 km off Kullu town having transport facilities.
