Kathgarh Temple is situated near the confluence of the Beas and Chakki rivers. The temple features a naturally divided vertical stone Shivalingam consisting of two distinct sections.
According to local epic folklore, King Bharat (brother of Lord Rama) rested at this river confluence during his travels.
The larger lingam section (approx 6 ft) represents Lord Shiva, while the smaller section (approx 4.7 ft) represents Goddess Parvati. Devotees believe the distance between the two Lingams shifts slightly with seasonal climate variations.
