A few users on X recently shared a video and claimed that a lightning strike occurred near the Bijli Mahadev Temple in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu. One of them even claimed that lightning strikes every 12 years near the temple in Himachal Pradesh. The X user also alleged that the Shivling in the temple gets shattered after lightning strikes. However, the claims made by X users are not true. The video is an old clip of a thunderstorm coinciding with the eruption of a volcano. The alleged video going viral with a false claim is of the eruption of Volcan Del Fuego in Guatemala. Debunking the fake claim, one user said, "It's a volcanic lighting incidence, N Himachal Pradesh hv no volcano," while another user shared the original video and said the incident occurred last month in Guatemala. ‘Drunk’ Leopard Seen Strolling Casually With Ajmer Villagers?

Lightning Strikes Every 12 Years, Says X User
हिमाचल प्रदेश में एक ऐसा मंदिर भी है, जहां हर 12 साल में वहां बिजली गिरती है। ये मंदिर भगवान शिव को समर्पित है, जहां बिजली गिरने के बाद शिवलिंग चकनाचूर हो जाता है। यही नहीं यहां के पंडित एक विशेष पेस्ट के साथ शिवलिंग को जोड़ते हैं। pic.twitter.com/UMKHs6S9CS

What a Lie, Says X User
What a lie. Kuch bhi internet se utha ke laga diya. Troll account ban gaya hai ye. India me ek hi active volcano hai aur vo hai Andaman Nicobar me. Not in Himachal.
