Markandeya Rishi Temple

Markandeya Rishi Temple sits about twenty kilometres from Bilaspur near Gobind Sagar Lake, dedicated to the sage Markandeya who is said to have meditated here for years. A spring beside the temple is considered sacred and believed to have healing properties, drawing childless couples and those seeking relief from illness. The temple's deodar covered surroundings and views over the Sutlej add to its appeal as a quiet pilgrimage stop beyond the town's main circuit.
