According to Hindu mythology, a demon named Kulant made this place his abode in ancient times. He took the form of a huge snake and came from Lahaul-Spiti to Mathan village via Mandi Goghardhar.

The snake-like demon stopped the flow of river Vyas to submerge this place in water so that the residents there would die by drowning in the water. Knowing this intention of the demon Kulant, Lord Shiva killed that demon with his Trishul.

A huge mountain formed from the giant body of the Kulant demon soon after his death. According to legend, Kulant Rakshasa gave the place its name. After this Lord Shiva ordered Indra dev to strike lightning at this place once in every 12 years. Since then the cycle of lightning continues here.

People here see thunder striking the temple. The Shivling shatters, but the pandit ji is able to restore it to its original form by joining it with butter.

Lightning will damage the entire village including the temple, but still Shiv ji protects the entire village. The Bijli Mahadev temple earned its name because people can only witness Lord Shiva’s view once every 12 years.
