village town of Bhuntar,
in the Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh is home to less than 5,000
individuals in population, but is the main entrance into the District of Kullu.
While Bhuntar sits directly at the Sangam of 'Beas
and Parvati' Rivers, there is an amazing rush of pristine beauty all around the
place. Lofty mountains, fast flowing rivers with low banks, springs flowing
from the mountainside and chirping of birds give a wholesome dose of
spectacular natural wilderness.

ancient temples dotting the tiny rustic township at Bhutar, it is also known
for the famous Bushweshwar Temple in
Bajaura village which is approx. 5 km. from the village of Bhuntar.
The Bushweshwar Temple
is known as the biggest and to most people, one of the most beautiful temples
within the Valley
of Kullu. It was built in
the 9th century upon the Shankracharya Padhati of the Panch Dev
Puja, in the design of a pyramid. Due to its antiquity and architectural
splendour, it has been put upon the protected monument list of temples. A visit
to this temple is considered very holy both amongst the locals and the tourists
of all faiths.
Kullu is
also referred to as the Valley
of God's and the honoured
regional deity is Lord Raghunathji. Every year, during the festival honouring
of Dussehra, there are large gatherings within the townships and villages for paying

expositions and festive gaiety marks the whole district of Kullu, encompassing
Bhuntar in the celebrations.
