Hindu Temple

Hindu Temple

I decided to take a day trip to Manikaran, the next town north, to see the hot baths. The ladies' side where we went was closed, but I am not sure I wanted to get in that water anyway....

Feeding the Masses

It was hot and steamy in the largest one, Sri Guru Nanak Ji Gurdwara bath compound, with not only hot baths, but several temples as well. There was a large room, part of the Shiite Temple where food was served free of charge.  

Shiite Services

The mirror work on the walls and the ceiling was spectacular! Past the temple and up a short staircase, there was a Shiite Temple with service in progress. I was unaware that photos were forbidden, so of course, I took one!
