Shrikhand Mahadev, Hindu pilgrimage site in Kullu district, India
The Shrikhand Mahadev temple stands at 18,750 feet above sea level and features a 72-foot natural Shiva Linga formation at its summit.
Ancient legends tell of demon king Ravana performing penance at this location, cutting off his head as an offering to Lord Shiva for immortality.
This mountain shrine forms part of the Panch Kailash, five sacred Himalayan peaks where devotees believe Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati reside.
The pilgrimage route opens annually from July to August, starting from Jaon village and requiring a 32-kilometer trek through multiple base camps.
Natural formations near the peak include the Parvati Bagh flower garden and Nain Sarovar lake, both holding religious significance for Hindu devotees.
