Bilaspur

Waking up to a mesmerizing view of Gobind Chand Lake, covered in a blanket of fog with the sun's rays reflecting off it in a soothing blue color. As the day ends, the sky above the lake unfurls into a magnificent lilac color, making it a sight to behold. Did you know that around 30 temples were submerged by the rising waters of the Bhakra reservoir built on the Sutlej River? Bhakra Dam is considered to be one of the highest dams in the world and produces a significant amount of electricity. Out of these, it was found that 12 temples were built in the Nagara style during the 8th and 19th centuries, making them an excellent example of historical architecture. But don't worry; the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) plans on restoring these temples to preserve their historical significance. If you're ever in Bilaspur district, don't forget to visit the famous Naina Devi temple, a sacred site devoted to Goddess Shakthi. Countless devotees visit this temple every day all over the year, and it's not hard to see why: the temple is located at the foot of the Bandla Hills and is a true testament to the region's rich cultural heritage.
