In this video we will explore 5000 years old Shri Katas Raj Temples which are 5000 years old and situated in Kalar Kahar, Pakistan.

Let's discover the Shri Katas Raj Temples, an architectural masterpiece nestled within the serene landscapes of Pakistan's Punjab province. Also known as Qila Katas, this complex of Hindu temples is intricately interconnected by walkways, surrounding the sacred Katas Pond, revered by Hindus for its spiritual significance. Take a bath in this Holy Pond of Tears and your sins will wash away! This is what the Hindus believe about this pond inside Katas Raj. Katas Raj is the second biggest holy place in Punjab for Hindus after Jawala Mukhi. It is believed that the site was visited by the Pandawa brothers of “Mahabharta” fame and this complex of temples was constructed to commemorate their visit.

According to ancient scriptures, the Katas Pond is believed to have been formed from the tears of Lord Shiva, shed in inconsolable grief after the demise of his wife, Sati. Spanning over an area of two kanals and 15 marlas, with a maximum depth of 20 feet, this mystical pond holds deep-rooted significance in Hindu mythology.

Immerse yourself in the rich history and mythology surrounding the temples, as they find mention in revered Hindu scriptures like the Mahabharata. Legends abound of the Pandava brothers seeking refuge in these sacred grounds during their exile, engaging in profound spiritual contemplation. The site is also steeped in the folklore of a riddle contest between the Pandavas and the Yakshas, adding to its mystical allure.

As per information received there are total 12 Shivling in the world, out of which one is placed in Katas Raj Temples.

With its rich history and cultural significance, the Shri Katas Raj Temples have attracted Hindu visitors from far and wide, including India's former deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani in 2005. Witness the ongoing restoration efforts by the Pakistani government, reaffirming its commitment to preserving this cultural heritage for Hindus.
