Vashisht is a village in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh, India.[1] It is a popular tourist place.[2]
Vashisht is a village located 3 km from Manali across the River Beas. This village is famous for its sulphurous hot water springs and sanctified by three main temples dedicated to Lord Vashisht, Lord Shiva and Lord Rama built just next to the springs. The water from this spring is believed to have great healing powers, which can cure many skin diseases, infections and pains. There are separate baths for both men and women. This place has a refreshing atmosphere that allows one to indulge in holly bath while seeking blessing from the presiding deity of the village.
