Sarahan-The Temple Town for the Pilgrim and the Traveller, Himachal

Sarahan-The Temple Town for the Pilgrim and the Traveller, Himachal

Sarahan, like most small hill stations in Himachal is a pilgrim town – an overgrown village really- where life revolves around its local God. The temple that enshrines the deity is ancient so are the myths and legends that keep changing depending on whom you talk to. No one minds the daily loud chimes of the temple bells mornings and evenings and my mother who is traveling with me as a pilgrim sighs inwardly in her serene way on hearing the first distant bell. Sarahan however has something for both the pilgrim and the traveler.
