Jwala Ji Temple, Ancient Hindu temple in Kangra District, India
The Jwala Ji Temple contains nine eternal flames emerging from natural rock fissures within its square sanctum, representing different forms of the goddess.
In medieval times, Firuz Shah Tughlaq destroyed the temple complex and removed 1300 Sanskrit manuscripts, which were later translated into Persian language.
The temple maintains traditional genealogy registers through local pandas who document the family lineages of visiting pilgrims throughout generations.
Devotees perform daily rituals at the temple, offering milk, water, and seasonal fruits, while participating in five scheduled prayer ceremonies throughout the day.
Natural gas deposits beneath the temple grounds fuel perpetual flames that continue burning despite historical attempts to extinguish them with water and metal covers.
