It is believed that Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati spend hundreds of year here because they were impressed by the surrounding beauty of mountains, waterfall and nature. During their stay, Mata Parvati lost her jewel (mani) of earring which made her upset. Lord Shiva ordered everyone to search her jewel but they were unable to find it. This made God Shiva angry and open his third eye which brought calamity to the Universe. During his anger, serpent god, 'Shesh Nag' was called to make calm Shiva but his tries too failed. When Shesh Nag hissed to cool down Shiva, it produced hot water that made this manikaran temple famous for hot springs.
