Founded on the auspicious day of May 8, 1992, Kailashpati Mandir has been a spiritual beacon for over three decades. Our temple's legacy of faith, unity, and devotion continues to flourish.
In the annals of mythology, this sacred land holds a story as old as time itself. It is believed that during the Treta Yuga, the demon king Ravana, known for his immense power and devotion, sought to propitiate Lord Shiva by performing intense penance at the sacred abode of Kailash. However, when his prayers seemingly went unanswered, Ravana, in his relentless pursuit of divine favor, journeyed to Kurah, believed to be the sacred Manimahesh Lake in Chamba District.
Legend has it that at Manimahesh, Ravana, in a desperate attempt to gain divine power, began the act of sacrificing his ten heads, believing this would lead him to immortality and invincibility. The Devas, the celestial beings, understanding the grave consequences of Ravana's actions, fervently prayed to Lord Shiva to intervene and put a halt to the unfolding events.
Answering the pleas of the Devas, Lord Shiva, in a benevolent gesture, not only stopped Ravana from sacrificing his heads but also miraculously restored his ten heads. In this sacred moment, Lord Shiva came to be revered as 'Shri Vaidyanath,' the Supreme Physician and Healer.
