Bhalei Mata Temple, Hindu temple in Bhalei village, Himachal Pradesh, India

The Bhalei Mata Temple stands at an elevation of 1100 meters, featuring a two-foot black stone statue of the goddess Bhadra in its sanctum.

During the 16th century, Raja Pratap Singh discovered the temple's black stone deity following instructions received through a divine dream message.

Devotees gather at the temple during the Hindu months of Ashwin and Chaitra to participate in the ceremonial Havan rituals and Navaratri celebrations.

The temple sits 40 kilometers from Chamba and 30 kilometers from Dalhousie, with access through a route following the Ravi River past Chamera dam.

The recovered black stone statue began exhibiting perspiration after its theft and subsequent retrieval near Chohra dam site in 1973.
