Bijli mahadev (indiadaily)
There are many mysterious temples in India, but the mystery of the Bijli Mahadev Temple located in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, remains a topic of discussion between science and faith. This temple is not only important from a religious perspective, but it is also a unique place from a scientific point of view.
Every 12 years, a miraculous event occurs in this temple, which continues to be a subject of wonder for both devotees and researchers. Situated at an altitude of 2460 meters above sea level, this temple is famous for its natural beauty and spiritual energy. The many beliefs associated with this temple make it even more mysterious. It is believed that every 12 years, lightning strikes the Shivling in this temple, causing it to break. After this, the temple priest connects it with butter, and it returns to its original state.
There is an interesting mythological story associated with the construction of the Bijli Mahadev Temple. According to the legend, there was a giant demon named 'Kulant' living in the Kullu Valley, who posed a threat to the people of the region. Lord Shiva killed this demon and transformed its body into a mountain. Afterward, Lord Shiva ordered Lord Indra to strike this place with lightning every 12 years so that the remains of the demon would be destroyed. Since then, lightning has struck this temple every 12 years.
The mystery behind the lightning that strikes the Bijli Mahadev Temple every 12 years remains unknown to this day. Scientists believe this event is the effect of natural electromagnetic energy, while devotees consider it to be the grace and miracle of Lord Shiva. Many experts believe that the unique geological structure in the area and the special type of energy in the atmosphere cause lightning to strike here repeatedly.
