Jwaladevi Temple A temple where no idols are worshipped, but an eternal flame that has been burning through the ages. The mysterious fact is that the flame has been burning through time immemorial and the reason behind the flame could not be found. According to Hindu mythology, the tongue of Sati (Lord Shiva's wife) after her body was disassembled by Lord Vishnu fell at the exact spot the Jwala Devi Temple is built on.
