Roja. Temple. Kidnap scene. I guess that pretty much sums up this location. The pulsating scene where Aravind Swamy is nabbed by the terrorists in front of Madhu Bala’s eyes as she walks out of the temple was shot here. Looks like this is a very popular temple and one that is included in the must-see places if you are visiting Manali, as many of our friends who have been to Manali have been to this temple.

About the location (from Wiki):
Hidimba Devi Temple is located in Manali, a hill station in the State of Himāchal Pradesh in north India. It is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, sister of Hidimba, who was a character in the Indian epic, Mahabaratha. The temple is surrounded by a cedar forest at the foot of the Himālayas. The sanctuary is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground, which was worshiped as an image of the deity. The structure was built in the year 1553.
