The story
Discover Mandi
Mandi has long been called "Chhoti Kashi" — the local claim is that where Kashi (Varanasi) has eighty temples, Mandi has eighty-one. The Panchvaktra Temple, at the confluence of the Suketi and Beas rivers, is a recognized heritage monument, and temples like Triloknath and Bhootnath are woven into the town’s everyday streets rather than set apart from them.
