Renukaji - रेणुकाजी


Himachal Tourism The Renuka rests on the bank of this sacred and breath taking beautiful lake. It commands a panoramic view of the lake with just a road dividing its terraced gardens from the waters. The original wing is in the colonial style and the recently constructed one has all modern facilities. This important pilgrim centre is associated with parasuram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who killed his mother on the orders of his father sage Jamdagni. The annual fair held here in November, celebrates the immortality of Renuka and her son.
