A unique and peaceful place, especially for someone who appreciates good craftsmanship. This place has took decades to be developed like what it is today, and its still in the process of being completed. The constructed areas are raw, yet beautiful in different ways. Do give it a visit to get first hand experience of the place.

Excellent piece of hardwork. Really great to know how a single man could follow his dream to carve such a beautiful temple mostly by himself... beautifully sculptured idols and other pieces of magnificence. Although the route leading to the temple is a little tough for people from plains but walking through the path is worth it because of the hardships the person creating this temple has went through.

If you believe in magic, this is where you would see it turn into a reality. The temple in my dreams has a magical magnetic vibe that just pulls you towards it and fills you with positivity and a magical energy. The beauty lies s in its simplicity and how beautifully the statue of lord shiva has been decorated. Besides the dome in which the statue of lord Ganesha is placed is mystical. It is calm and brings a sense of peace within you the moment you step into it. You need to see it to believe it.

Loved it, It feels relaxing when you go through the corridor, You can feel the cool breeze, It is said that this Temple was built by a solo man, it took 40 years to complete this and he named it as 'My Dream Temple. Ps: You can still meet the Legend, He lives nearby. And mostly you can meet him in the temple itself. It was a great day.

Beautiful place. Beautifully designed. Amazing view... Peaceful calm place to sit & soak in the vibes ✨️ A must visit Mandir in Chail A beautiful stone temple, all a hand made Artistic stuff built single handedly by one man since 1980. A stone made narrow cave runs underneath and across the temple which is quite exciting.Way to the Temple is a thrilling trek of about 1 kilometer from Janedghat through a dense forest area which leads onto the top of the hill village known Bhalawag .On the other side of the temple one can clearly see the Shimla town which becomes even more mesmerizing like a milky way in the evening.Temple becomes a far more sacred place because its a mix of creativity and wonder in the midst of pure nature standing on the faith of very simple and down to earth man who has spent his whole life to create a masterpiece . #Temple in my dreams....

The Stoned Kumbh Shiv Temple or 'The Temple in my Dream' is an enthralling experience. It's an incomplete yet heartful effort of a one man army whose diligence and hard work reflects in every detail of the vicinity. I highly recommend a visit as a tribute to this unknown passionate soul. A praiseworthy effort that needs sincere praise and recognition. So do visit and spread word about this hidden gem in the hills of Kandaghat.

Nice small temple in Chail, Himachal. The complete structure is made of stones and concrete has been used for the decor. You will see the use of some decorative items in this temple. The route to the temple is very beautiful through a narrow path amidst the deodar trees. View from here is great. The shiva statue built here is a little unique. This is not some old temple. It’s actually an imagination of a local man who saw this temple in his dreams and started building it on its own. A good place for a quick visit. Not many tourists are seen here so it’s a rather calm place.

The location is extremely beautiful and even more beautiful is the walk to this place. You walk through vineyards and natural beauty surrounding you throughout the treck. The temple is also worth experiencing as it shows beautiful architectural work done by people to make it. Definitely recommend for a serene and solitude escape.

Shiva temple on hill top made by single man temple is made up of local stone at Chail, Shimla. A must visit place once to see one man's dream and efforts taking form. His efforts need acknowledgement, appreciation and assistance and so, this place must be visited.

Such a unique and beautiful sculpture of Lord Shiva Location is awesome its bit off road but car /bike can go So green and beautiful

Stoned Kumbh Shiva Temple - Surreal experience, all the efforts of a single man blessed by the Divine. The shrine is also called " A Temple in my dream" Inspired by a dream, 65+ years old Satya Bhushan had started building the structure in 1980 on his ancestral property after seeing a Shiva temple in his dream. Perched on top of a peak, it's located in a serene spot, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A steep narrow road leads to the temple. Being made of solely cement and metal wires the temple is colourless. Be it Shiva's dreadlocks, the snakes that circle his body or even the marigold flowers used to give a decorative touch to the temple, everything is made of grey cement. The temple also has an underground cave. The temple currently is incomplete but is taking shape in the most amazing manner. Do give it a visit to get a first hand experience of the place.

Visited the stone temple , me and the family was literally mesmerized and we happen to see the Man behind it , he literally collected the stones and built it himself . Really really beautiful Temple , very unique , no matter how much time you spend here , it doesnot feel enough . Beautiful and calming !

It man made tample and not road and facility .. it is build up with stone and located in chail shimla...place for peace of mind and heart ....and near u cam fine excellent scenery and all things

Excellent place,worth visiting and appreciating the effort of person who is being collecting the resources and building shiv temple from last 40 years. I could able to meet the person and had chat about how this all started.very mythological and stunning story. Must visit the place

Creative and beautiful temple. Do visit. Be mindful of the narrow entry road towards this temple. The road is wide enough for only one car. Park the car at the bottom and walk if you are not confident enough.

Newly built temple on top a small hike. Very beautiful views from the top. The best part is one of caves there. It goes very deep and is very narrow. But worth going.

A hard work of 40years or more , a man of worship, a man of shiva, a man of believe, make it incredible and awesome. A unique and peaceful place, especially for someone who appreciates good craftsmanship. This place has took decades to be developed like what it is today, and its still in the process of being completed. The constructed areas are raw, yet beautiful in different ways. Do give it a visit to get first hand experience of the place.

।।Jai Mahadev जय महाकाल ॐ नमः शिवाय।। CHAIL (SOLAN) Not many tourists visiting Chail would know about the Stoned Kumbh Shiv Temple, perched on top of a peak in the Himachal Pradesh hill station. It is located in a serene spot, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and isn't very famous. The temple was built single-handedly, bit by bit, by 64-year-old Satya Bhushan over the last 38 years. According to Bhushan, he had started building the structure in 1980 on his ancestral property after seeing a Shiva temple in his dream. The shrine is also called “Temple in my dream” (the words, made of twisted metal wires, can be seen atop the temple). Being made of solely cement and metal wires, the temple is colourless. Be it Shiva’s dreadlocks, the snakes that circle his body or even the marigold flowers used to give a decorative touch to the temple, everything is made of grey cement. The temple also has an underground cave. “I dreamt of a temple in 1980 and there has been no looking back since. I had already learnt making clay sculptures and wooden carvings during my school days, and was, in fact, made fun of by my classmates for studying Arts in school. My dream gave me a platform and inspired me to make this temple. Initially, only locals knew about it. They came here and contributed funds. Till now, nearly Rs 15 lakh has been spent on its construction, which is still in process,” says Bhushan, holding a photograph, taken in 1980, of the same land where the temple now stands.Bhushan himself put in some money for the temple and the rest came from devotees who visited it. The sexagenarian is separated from his wife and lives with his sister at a house barely 50 metres away from the temple. “Whenever I see someone coming towards the temple from my window, I rush in and switch on the electricity. It makes water cascade down the Shiva idol like a fountain and hymns play on a music system that I have installed,” says Bhushan, adding that it was only for the electricity connections that he sought the help of a local. Bhushan earns his living from a small ancestral farm here, where he has grown some fruits and vegetables. Every day, he spends at least four hours at the temple, coming up with ideas for new statues and decorations. He says he never asked the government for help, but claims of building the five-feet-high statue of Atal Bihari Bajpayee at the governor’s house in Himachal Pradesh, back when Suraj Bhan was the governor of the state. What keeps him invested in the temple even after 38 years? “The smiles on people’s faces when the leave the temple, and the praises they shower on me is enough to keep me going. I recently learnt that the temple can finally be located on Google, thanks to the photos uploaded by visitors on social media. This simply makes me happy,” says Bhushan. After all, faith will move mountains.

One of the best experience of my trip, The veer bhadra guffa was thrilling and exciting at the same time. Considering the backstory of this temple that, one man made it himself and took almost 40-45+ years to complete it, this temple really is something else, very positive vibes👍.
