What is the story of hot water of Manikaran Sahib?
The story of the hot water of Manikaran Sahib is linked to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. When Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to Manikaran with his disciples and started langar. But one day there was no fire to cook the langar meal, so he asked to pick up a rock. When the rock was lifted, a hot spring was visible. On the instructions of Guru Nanakji, when the disciples threw breads made of flour into the waterfall, they drowned. Then Guru Nanak Dev Ji asked him to put the rotis again in the name of “Waheguru”. When they did this, the loaves that had sunk earlier also floated up. In this way, the hot water of Manikaran is still used to cook food in langar.

What do scientists say?
The scientific reason for the hot water of Manikaran Sahib is geothermal activity. This process is caused by heat within the Earth’s crust, generated by magma (molten rock) or by the movement of tectonic plates. Scientists believe that there are very deep cracks in the Manikaran area, through which water seeps into the depths. When groundwater comes in contact with these hot rocks, it gets heated and comes to the surface in the form of hot springs.
