Perched on a narrow ridge, the Kartik Swami Temple honors Lord Kartikeya, son of Shiva and Parvati, and offers breathtaking 360° Himalayan views. According to legend, after losing a divine test to Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya offered his flesh to his mother and bones to his father—the temple idol symbolizes this devotion.
