How TRILOKINATH is Worlds Only Temple Where Two Religions Worship One God | Most Sacred Shiva Temple

Описание: Trilokinath temple is believed to be an 8th century temple and is located in Trilokinath Village across the Chandrabhaga river in Udaipur sub-division of Lahaul Valley. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple has a six armed deity that is worshipped as Lord Shiva by the Hindus and as Avalokiteshwara by the Buddhists. The locals believe that the deity was installed by Guru Padmasambhava himself. Trilokinath Temple is at a distance of 45 kms from Keylong and 16 kms from Udaipur. The temple and village lies at an altitude of 2700m.

It was a big surprise for me when I realised that the temple has gone through extensive renovations and the building was a white structure. The location of Trilokinath temple was very dazzling though and snow mountains were visible in the far distance. It was a cloudy day when I had reached but the sun gradually took control. There were many pilgrims to pay their respects and also colourful Tibetan prayer flags decorated the exterior parts of the temple, signifying active Buddhist presence.

The beauty of the Trilokinath temple lies not only in the beautiful confluence of religion that you can find here but also on the road that you need to take to reach here. The journey to this ancient temple is certainly not for the faint-hearted and it is definitely one of the most beautiful yet thrilling journeys you will ever embark on in your life.

The pious temple is located on top of the snow capped mountains, which also form the backdrop, and through the dense green forests that urge you to lose yourself in them.

What is really impressive about the temple is that it signifies the whole idea of India- religious tolerance. It is basically a temple built to celebrate the confluence of both Hindus and Buddhists- who have co-existed at this very place for many centuries. The beauty of this place is further heightened by the presence of the turquoise coloured Chandrabhaga River that is known as Chenab when it enter Jammu and Kashmir. The temple itself is a beauty in white- which precariously hangs from a cliff.
