Mindhal Basan Devi temple is an exceedingly honoured shrine, placed in Pangi Valley (located in the upper part of Chamba, Pangi is perhaps the most arresting spot in HP), Chamba, Himachal Pradesh. Known for its dainty woodcarvings, Mindhal Devi Temple is a vast pilgrim centre for the Pangwals, people who worship the goddess for safer crops and fate. The annual fair, held in the month of Bhadon, fetches a great number of people from all over the valley. Umpteen sheep and goats are ritually sacrificed on this event as offerings to the deity. It is believed that blood of the sacrificed livestock flows through a hole at the temple door to a pool at the foot of Kulal Village, thus giving it a hint of red. The Mindhal Devi Temple is situated 12km from Killar in Pangi Valley.
