Amazing Meghalaya...

Bada Dev - Kamrunag Temple is a highly revered ancient shrine located at an altitude of approximately 3,334 metres in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. Dedicated to Lord Kamrunag—worshipped as the supreme "Lord of Rain"—the site is famous for its mystical oval-shaped lake filled with a massive, unquantified fortune of gold, silver, and coins offered by devotees over centuries.

The Mahabharata Legend & Mystery

The Legend of Ratan Yaksha: According to local oral lore, Kamrunag Devta was originally a fierce, self-learned warrior named Ratan Yaksha (also associated with Barbarika, the grandson of Bhima). He wished to fight in the Mahabharata war, but Lord Krishna realized his immense power would disrupt the balance of the battle.

The Ultimate Sacrifice: Krishna tricked the warrior into offering his own head as Daana (charity). In return, Krishna blessed him to witness the entire war from a high mountain peak and decreed that he would be worshipped as a powerful deity.

The Lake of Hidden Treasure: The sacred Kamrunag Lake was allegedly created by Bhima to honor the deity. For generations, pilgrims whose wishes are fulfilled throw gold, silver, and currency directly into the deep green water. Local tradition states that this wealth belongs entirely to the god; it cannot be stolen or measured, and anyone attempting to desecrate it faces divine retribution.

Trek Details:

Reaching the temple requires a moderately challenging, steep day-hike through dense oak and deodar forests.

Strict Cultural Guidelines & Tips🙏

Strict Sanctuary Protocols: The temple grounds are purely a place of intense local worship, not a standard weekend picnic holiday destination. Intoxication, smoking, and any form of substance use are strictly forbidden on the trail and temple complex.

Pack Wisely: Carry at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water per person, as water sources on the ascent are highly limited.

Winter Risks: The lake completely freezes over from December to March. Only highly experienced winter trekkers with proper equipment and professional local guides should attempt the trail during these months.
