Anjani Mahadev

अंजनी महादेव

A mountain temple near Solang Valley. In winter, a waterfall freezes into a tall natural ice lingam that draws pilgrims and visitors.

Anjani Mahadev sits on a hillside about 2–3 km west of Solang Valley. Legend says Anjani, mother of Hanuman, meditated here. In winter, the waterfall on the cliff freezes into ice pillars several metres high. They are regarded as a naturally formed Shiva lingam, and pilgrims come in a steady stream. From the parking area near Solang Valley it takes about 1 hour on foot or horseback. Snowy days are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. In summer it is a quiet little temple, and you can still see the waterfall.
