It has a very interesting history related to it. The place gets its name from Rishi Vashisht. It is said that when the sage came to know that his children were killed by Vishwamitra he tried to commit suicide by jumping in a river, but he was not successful in committing it as it is believed that the river did not allow him to do so. From that time onwards, the river was named as Vipasha which is now known as Beas River. Rishi Vashisht hence decided to meditate at this place in order to start his life in a new way. In the later period, a temple was built around this place which is today known as the Vashisht Temple.

The Temple is built by using intricate wood carvings. The sulphur hot springs of the place is believed to have medicinal properties and help to cure people from many kinds of diseases.

Separate bathing arrangements are made for both male and female. Every month, many senior citizens with diseases and pregnant women also arrive here to get purified by taking a dip in the hot waters. The temperature of the waters varies from 110 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also believed that the water has the ability to drive away all the sins committed by an individual and make him or her feel blessed.

There is another story that is associated with the history of the place. Lord Lakshman realized that the Sage had to walk for a long time in order to take baths. Hence, he decided to shot an arrow on earth, from which hot water gushed out and it was from that time that the place became famous for hot water baths.
