KATAS RAJ TEMPLES

INTRODUCTION
The Katas Raj Temples   is a complex of
several Hindu temples and contains a holy tank
named Katas which is considered as sacred by the
Hindus, and it is believed that by drinking the
water in the holy tank would cure all kinds of
diseases and removes our sins. The temple
complex is situated in Punjab, Pakistan. The
temple tank is considered as the teardrops of Lord
Shiva, after he wandered in the earth after the
death of Mata Sati. The importance of this temple
is mentioned in Mahabharata.
The great Guru Nanak had visited the Katas Raj
Temples. This temple is not maintained properly,
and currently some minority Hindus are looking
after this holy place, and have done some
maintenance work at their own cost. Only minority
Hindus living in the nearby areas are visiting this
popular temple. However during Shivrathri festival
day, hundreds of Hindu pilgrims from Pakistan and
India would visit this lovely shrine in order to get
the blessings of the great Lord “SRI MAHADEV”.
In the temple complex, Lord Rama, Hanuman and
Shiva temples are found. It is an ancient temple,
and it is believed that this temple would have been
built by the Pandavas, since they have frequently
visited this place during their exile.
Let us worship Lord Shiva, Rama and Hanuman
and be blessed.
