Thousands of people travel from all over the world to seek the Lord’s grace and observe the undulating scenery of this location, which is located at an elevation of 11,755 feet above sea level.
According to mythology, after the battle of Kurukshetra, the Pandavas of Mahabharata traveled to Varanasi to seek the Lord’s blessings because they had killed their own relatives. Lord Shiva, on the other hand, dodged them and hid in Guptakashi. As they approached, Lord took the decision to crawl underground and become invisible. Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, made a valiant effort to stop him by grasping the bull’s legs and tail.
