📖 About Jwala Devi Temple Jwalamukhi
Jwala Devi Temple, also known as Jwalamukhi Temple, is located in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh, and is one of the most unique Shakti Peethas in India. The temple is famous for its natural eternal flame that burns continuously from a rock crevice without any fuel. According to legend, this is where Sati's tongue fell, and the goddess manifests as eternal fire (Jwala).

The mysterious blue flames have been burning for centuries and represent the eternal energy of the divine mother.
