The highest Krishna Temple in the world at YULLA KHAS in RORA KANDA VALLEY in KINNAUR in Himachal in INDIA:
A Hidden Paradise in the lap of Kinnaur!
Yulla or Yulla Kanda is a 11 km long trek into the unknown. It is approximately 3 hrs. drive from Shimla. The trek takes you to a hidden lake near the earlier summer capital city, Shimla. Situated in the Rora Valley of Kinnaur, lake is a home to the world's highest temple devoted to Lord Krishna, which is located inside the lake.
The lake is situated at a height of 3895 metres above sea level and one has to trek a little before your eyes light up to this visual delight.

HISTORY BEHIND THE LAKE AND KRISHNA TEMPLE
The lake has been made by the Pandavas during their term in exile. After the lake, the construction of temple was undertaken. Also, the most striking feature of the temple is its height above the sea level (12000 feet) which makes it the world's highest temple. Another important point is people can come and offer prayers to Lord Krishna irrespective of their religion, caste or creed. The place welcomes everyone with open heart and a tight warm hug.

It is believed that the present day Bushah ruler, King Kehari Singh of Bushah estate, started the festival of "Janmashtmi" which is celebrated with much triumph and joy in the region. The temple is believed to be related to the state of Bushah. As per the belief, a traditional cap of the Kinnaur region is inverted and put in the lake flowing along the temple at Yulla Kanda.

Legend has it that if the cap floats across the river to the other side without getting immersed, the destiny shall be with you and the coming year shall henceforth bring peace, joy and harmony in your life. If the cap doesn't make it to the other side, know that the coming year might not be good for you.

Although the place remains deserted for a major part, every year tourists, local people and those from nearby districts gather together in large numbers to celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. They orbit the lake in order to seek for liberation from their sins and bad deeds.
