The tiny hill station is also known by the name of "Varanasi of Hills" or "Choti Kashi" or "Kashi of Himachal" as it is dotted with around 81 temples. From the sparkling Rewalsar Lake to the appealing Mata Kua Rani Temple, Mandi, the Varanasi of Hills, has no dearth of places that can provide relief to both the mind and soul. The city has a remarkable collection of religious sites that draws inspiration from a variety of religious denominations.

Mandi is revered by people of Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist community. Mandi is a beautiful yet an unusual destination of Himachal Pradesh. The town curls around the holy Rewalsar Lake which is said to have appeared when the king of Mandi tried to kill Guru Padmasambhava when he got to know that his daughter Mandarava is running off with him. On the bank of the lake is the 12 m-high statue of Padmasambhava, which is the main attraction of the place. People even say that Guru Padmasambhava's (Guru Rinpoche) spirit resides in this lake in the form of a tiny reed flowing in the river and that it why the lake is sacred to all the Tibetans.
