It is considered the third most sacred pilgrimage site after Kailash and Mansarover and that is why Himachal is considered as Devbhoomi. Trilokinath Temple is a place where the brass temple bell and Buddhist prayer wheel chime together.

The temple complex has a small granite Lingam and a Nandi bull guarding the Lingam in the centre of a grey-paved courtyard. There’s also a big Buddhist prayer wheel nearby.

The customs of worshipping the god are based on Buddhist traditions and ancient customs and traditions are still practised. This is why the prayers in the temple are still conducted in accordance with Buddhist customs.
