Manikaran As Sikh Pilgrimage Destination
Manikaran is also an extremely sacred place for the Sikh population of the country since it is believed that Guru Nanak Dev payed a visit here. The record of this can be found in the Janam Sakhi or the 'Twarikh Guru Khalsa' (by Giani Gian). There is a mention that along with his disciple Bhai Mardana, Guru Nanak came down to this place after visiting Kalanaur, Gurdaspur, Dasuya, Triloknath, Palampur, Kangra, Mandi, Chamba and Kulu and Bijli Mahadev. He was also accompanied by five of his followers or 'piaras'.
