Siyali Mahadev Temple, Manali

It's such a calm place to sit. The wooden work in the temple is beautiful.

Beautiful Lord Shiva Temple on the top of the hill and best place to visit near Manali or Mall Road. The temple road is lil bit confusing so after crossing Durga Mata Temple take left from the Royal view hotel and cottage and after 200 meter the temple will come.

Siyali Mahadev Temple is located Manali dedicated to Lord Shiva. Very famous religious tourist attraction in Manali. The stone and wooden work very beautiful carvings work in temple.

I am fond of this temple and wish to visit again and again Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Siyali Mahadev Shiva Temple, which is perched along the road that leads up to the Hadimba Temple in Manali, is the only one Shiva temple in this charming hill station having the proximity of the hill town. Really being breathtaking, this ancient Shiva temple, which is very famous for its grand carving style and work, is a must visit during the tour of Kullu Manali. Attraction of Temple The original idol that the temple is constructed around was found concealed within a tree and unlike other Shiva temple where only the Shiva Lings is found, this is an idol where the entire family is engraved in the stone, kindly do also have a look at it as it is situated behind the primary temple. Architecture This ancient Shiva temple has been constructed in the Catkuni style of architecture, that this area is renowned for while the original temple is hundreds of years ancient, the new temple has been constructed in the old style of architecture of the ancint Shiva temple that visitors have come to like and respect from this area. This ancient temple has been constructed by the craftsman (Kardhar) from Siyal, the main craftsman (Karigar) Dile Ram and Kardhar Jaichand Thakur from Chachoga village and the craftsman (Karigar) of the God (Devta).

If you are into hindi temple, you will like this location. It is a small yet detailed little place. It's really quite and not busy at all. Impossible to visit the inside since it's located by a huge lock. The most interesting parts are the gates with the bell on each side. They are detailed and intriguing. However, after 5-10 minutes there isn't much more to see or do at that place.
