Famous for its sweeping valley views and sulphurous
hot-water springs, the ever expanding village of Vashisht, 3km north of
Manali, is an amorphous jumble of traditional timber houses and modern concrete
cubes, divided by paved courtyards and narrow muddy lanes.
There are two old stone temples with
elaborate woodcarvings facing each other in the main square. One is dedicated to
Rama (incarnation of Vishnu) and the other to sage Vashisht, who was Ramas
teacher. |
