The most charming and beautiful Kullu valley spreads
out its charm on either side of river Beas.Kullu
was once known as Kulanthpitha, which means the
end of the habitable world. Beyond rose the forbidding
heights of the Greater Himalayas, and by the banks
of the shining river Beas, lay the fabled 'Silver
Valley'. The valley runs north to south of Beas
river and is 80 kms. long and about 2kms wide.
This town is famous for its temples and the annual
Dussehra festival, both of which attract thousands
of tourists.the town of Kullu has long been a
centre of faith. In the 17th century, Raja Jagat
Singh installed here an idol of Lord Raghunathji,
which he brought from Ayodhya. As a mark of his
penance, he placed the idol on his throne and
it became the presiding deity of the valley. |
