Anand Mahindra, the chairperson of the Mahindra and Mahindra group, on Sunday shared pictures of the world’s highest Shri Krishna Temple located in Yulla Kunda, Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The temple is set in the middle of a lake. Legend has it that the lake was formed by the Pandavas when they were in exile in the Himalayas.
The images, originally posted by the handle India Aesthetica, were shared a day after Janmashtami. “Perfect timing to share these, given it was Janmashtami yesterday… And once again, shows the magnificent, underrated beauty of our landscape,” Mahindra wrote on X.
Situated in the high-altitude region of Kinnaur, the temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and attracts attention for both its spiritual significance and unique location amid the Himalayan landscape. Mahindra often shares posts highlighting India’s cultural and natural heritage under the hashtag #SundayWanderer.
Yulla Kanda trekking experience
In Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh, the Yulla Kanda trekking experience brings you closer to the Kinnaur mountains. The 12 km long trek in the magical mountains of Himachal Pradesh has a lot to offer, especially a pilgrimage that will leave you speechless.
The trek starts from the village of Yulla Khas, and takes you high up to this incredible destination. The festival of Janmashtami is celebrated at the temple, and has a great significance in the region. People come here from all over Kinnaur, and other parts of Himachal Pradesh each year during the time of Janmashtami.
The trek itself is moderate in difficulty, and the best time to experience this would be from mid-May to mid-November. There are options when it comes to the routes, as if you are coming from Kalpa, you could trek via Kashang Pass, and if you can also take the Listigarang Pass to reach the lake.
Netizens react
The post drew varied reactions on social media. Many users welcomed the images, describing the Shri Krishna Temple as a hidden treasure of Himachal and praising how it showcases the spiritual depth of the region alongside its natural beauty. They said such shrines reflect the way faith and landscape blend seamlessly in India’s Himalayan belt, making them both places of worship and cultural landmarks.
Others, however, questioned the timing of the post, pointing out that Himachal Pradesh has recently faced multiple cloudbursts, flash floods and landslides that have disrupted lives and infrastructure.
Some also used the opportunity to reflect more broadly on India’s natural diversity, noting that the Himalayas, with their raw and untouched grandeur, remain one of the country’s most defining features. They remarked that such glimpses serve as a reminder of the richness of India’s landscapes, many of which remain less explored but carry deep cultural and ecological significance.
