The ancient Baijnath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is worshiped here as Baijnath or Vaidyanath or the Lord of Healing. Built in 1204 A.D, the temple assumes much religious significance as devotees believe that anyone who prays here gets relief from all pain and miseries. Standing against the backdrop of the mighty Dhauladhar Range, the shrine features the Nagara-style architecture. It is one of those few temples in India where both Lord Shiva and Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, are worshipped.
