Almost in the centre of Himachal, lying along the left bank of the river Beas in the foot hills of medium sized Shivalik ranges, Mandi at a height of 760 metres (2,495 ft) entails a rich heritage of culture, of both historical and theological significance. Comprising of the two erstwhile states of Mandi and Suket, mandi derives its name Mandi, or 'Market' from the Ladhakh traders who passed through it, on their way to Hoshiarpur. Here, in the days of yore, the pious rishi, Mandavaya, performed long and severe penance and practised unthinkable austerities on his body, on the right bank of the river Beas, near the present town, which, then took his name.
