Manali, etymologically meaning the 'Home of Manu,' has a legendary origin story. According to legend, during a catastrophic flood that engulfed the earth, Manu, along with the gods, was rescued by a colossal fish, believed to be the seventh incarnation of the god Vishnu. They were brought to safety in an area that eventually came to be known as Manali. Manu is said to have settled in Manali and played a pivotal role in the recreation of human life in the region. As a result, Manali holds sacred significance, and the temples found here are revered as pilgrimage sites by Hindus. Its mention can also be found in various ancient texts such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Vishnu Purana.
