About

The Bhutnath Temple is located in the heart of Mandi (often called the 'Varanasi of the Hills' due to its 81 stone temples). Built in 1527 CE, it is dedicated to Shiva.

The temple is the focal point of the famous Mandi Shivaratri Fair, a major international festival where hundreds of local deities from surrounding hill villages are brought in palanquins to pay their respects to Lord Bhutnath.
