#Bharmour, formally known as #Brahmpura, was the ancient capital of #Chamba district, #Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated at an altitude of 7000 feet in the #Budhil valley, 62 km to the south-east of Chamba. Bharmour is known for its scenic beauty and for its ancient temples. Some of temples are believed to be existing from 7th century. Bharmour is supposed to belong to lord Shiva hence also called #Shiva Bhumi, home of lord Shiva. Bharmour is popular for #Manimahesh and Chaurasi temple. Chaurasi Temple complex, Bharmour commonly known as Chaurasi Mandir (Chaurasi temple), is the renowned for its significance and magnitude. Eighty-four ancient beautifully carved pillars has carefully festooned the temple complex. All these temples stand on a level area which call the Chaurasi after the 84 Siddhas who are believed to have meditated in Bharmaur over 1000 years ago. These Siddhas hailed from #Kurukshetra and visited Manimahesh. Thus this temple complex obtained the name Chaurasi temple. Manimahesh Lake (also known as #Dal Lake, Manimahesh), is a high altitude lake (elevation 4,080 metres (13,390 ft)) situated close to the Manimahesh Kailash Peak in the Pir Panjal Range of the #Himalayas, in the Bharmour subdivision of Chamba district of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The Manimahesh Kailash peak that stands high close to the lake is believed to be the home of Lord Shiva (#Hindu deity). This place is believed to be second to the Lake #Manasarovar in its religious significance. Name Manimahesh signifies a jewel (Mani) on Lord Shiva’s (Mahesh’s) crown. Local people claim that the moon-rays reflected from the jewel can be seen from Manimahesh Lake on clear full-moon nights (which is a rare occasion). It is more likely to be the light reflected from the glacier that adorns the peak, like a serpent on Shiva’s neck
