This sunrise at Kinner Kailash is no ordinary sunrise. This represents awakening, the victory of good over evil and the light of divinity.
As per the legend, after a great penance, the deadly demon Bhasmasur received a boon from Lord Shiva that he could turn any person into ashes by touching his head but Bhasmasur tried to turn Lord Shiva into ashes as he wanted to possess his wife, Goddess Parvati. Lord Shiva could have easily killed Bhasmasur immediately by opening his third eye, but that would have also led to mass destruction of the planet, which he did not want.
So, to avoid getting killed, Lord Shiva kept hiding and changing his locations often. He finally came to Kinner (Kinnaur) Kailash where he meditated and found a way to control the destruction that could happen when he opens his third eye.
Bhasmasur came to Kinner Kailash, looking for Lord Shiva, and it was here that the Lord eventually killed Bhasmasur by opening his third eye with his controlled aggression. As per the belief, such a sunrise is only witnessed when Lord Shiva opens his third eye, which happens only once in several years. Make a visit to this place and witness the magic for yourself.
