February 18, 2023

The three-day district-level Shivratri fair opened at historic Lord Shiva Temple, Kathgarh in Indora sub division of Kangra district recently.
Thousands of devotees from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu throng the temple to pay their obeisance.
Kathgarh Mahadev Temple is located in Kangra district.
- Situated on the border of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, this is the only Shiv temple in the world, where the Shivling is divided into two parts.
- It is believed that these two forms of Shiva automatically separate and then merge.
- One is worshiped as Lord Shiva and the other part is worshiped as Devi Parvati.
- The distance between two parts of Shivling automatically increases according to the planetary constellations. In summer this form splits into two parts and in winter it assumes one form.
- This old temple, built in Mughal style, comprises 6 feet tall and 5 feet round ‘Shivalinga’.
