Bijli Mahadev temple is a located in Kashawri village, Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India.
[1][2] As per Hindu legend, the Bijli Mahadev temple was built as a way to pay homage to lord Shiva after he defeated the asura (demon) named Jalandhara with his trident and saved the Kullu valley from being submerged.
A different version of the legend also exists, which says that lord Shiva had killed an asura named Kulanta who reached Kully from the Mathan village in Lahaul-Spiti.
The priest of the temple then uses a mixture of chopad (homemade butter), pulse flour and cereal to put together the broken pieces of the lingam.
Trekkers opt for the Naggar route to reach the temple via Jana village that goes through dense deodar forests.
