History & significance

A gurdwara in the Parvati valley of Kullu district, standing beside hot springs that Sikh tradition connects with Guru Nanak's visit during his third udasi. The spring water is used to cook langar and the site is revered by Sikhs and Hindus alike.

Sthala katha — the legend

Sikh tradition holds that Guru Nanak caused the hot springs to appear so that food could be cooked for the community kitchen.
