Murlidhar Temple, Thawa

Murlidhar Temple, is located in Thawa village nearly 29 Km from Kullu.




Built in early medieval period,(5000 years ago) in Shikara Style.




This temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna also known as Murlidhar.







Along with the idols of lord Krishna, there are idols of Radha, Garud and Laxminarayana.

As per Hindu Mythology, Radha and Krishna are the eternal lovers. An interesting story related to them was told during my visit to the temple. Earlier when the temple was constructed Radha’s Idol was not in the temple. It is believed that due to this reason usually Lord Krishna was found absent from the Temple. Only after the idol of Radha was brought into the temple, the two eternal lovers were unified again.

The Unusual Blend


Two major rivers of kullu , Parvati in right and Beas in the left at their Sangam in Bhuntar.
It rained heavily in the manikaran valley thats why the water in Parvati is all muddy.

Clouds








Finally monsoon has arrived here and now we are having rains almost daily. I can't keep myself from photographing clouds, with every passing moment they create yet another masterpiece in sky.
