This temple is located in Kullu in Sainj valley.

This place is related to even the time of Dwapara Yug. It is believed that the Pandavas had visited this place during their one year Angyatbas (living at a place in disguise where they should not be recognized). As per the legend the Kauravs came here chasing them. Yet, the Shungchul Mahadev temple stopped them. They were said by the Lord that anybody who comes to this area cannot be harmed. And thus the Kauravas returned back.

There are specific restricts in this area. Police are not allowed here while you cannot bring alcohol or cigarettes as well as leather articles here. Also, it is forbidden to bring weapons here. Even fight and quarrel is prohibited here while you cannot speak in a loud voice.
