Top 7 Temples in Himachal Pradesh

The charming land of this mountainous state with lush green

meadows and singing streams is blessed with more than 2,000

Hindu temples. Here, I have enlisted the top 7 temples in

Himachal Pradesh.

1. Chamunda Devi Temple, Kangra

Situated on the bank of the Baner River in Kangra, the Chamunda

Devi Temple, which was constructed in the 16th century, is a

renowned ancient sacred shrine. It is notable that the Chamunda

Devi is regarded as a manifestation of Durga or Shakti. Besides

this, the temple is also regarded as the dwelling place of Shakti

and Lord Shiva. Hence, this temple is also referred to as the

Chamunda Nandikeshwar Dham.

2. Naina Devi Temple, Bilaspur

Counted among the most renowned ancient temples of the

northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, the Naina Devi

Temple, which is nestled in the district of Bilaspur, is regarded as

one of 51 Shaktipeethas on Earth where the limbs of Sati fell.

With no worry for the months of cold winter, this ancient temple

is visited by a great number of devotees all the year round. The

duration of Chaitra and Ashwin Navratras, and the Shravan

Ashtami is the best time for paying a holy visit to this ancient

temple.

3. Baijnath Temple, Palampur, Kangra

Being a well famous shrine of Lord Shiva, the Baijnath Temple,

which is situated close to Palampur within the valley of the Beas

River, is counted among the most visited Hindu temples in this

mountainous state. As per the claim of the inscription on the wall

of the temple, two merchants named Manyuka and Ahuka

constructed this great temple in the 13th century. The site of this

temple had a shrine of Lord Shiva before the construction of this

present temple.

4. Jwalamukhi Temple, Kangra

Wonderfully nestled on the ridge called Kali Dhar near Kangra,

the Jwalamukhi Temple of Himachal Pradesh, which has a dome

and high pinnacles with 3 ft deep square pit in the interior

covered by pathway around it, is most renowned for the

continuously burning blue flame originating in the rock sanctum.

5. Jakhu Temple, Shimla

Attracting thousands of devotees each year, the Jakhoo Temple,

which is located atop the Jakhoo Hill in Shimla, the capital of the

northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, is an ancient temple,

dedicated to Lord Hanuman (Monkey God). Here, you can find a

great number of monkeys roaming here and there.

6. Hadimba Temple, Dhungri, Manali

Dedicated to Hidimbi, the wife of Bhima, one of Pandava

Brothers, the Hadimba Temple, which is situated at the Dhungri

Van Vihar in Manali, is one of the most visited ancient temples of

Manali as well as the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.

On this site, Bhima and Hadimba passed a year together after

their wedding. Because of being situated at the Dhungri Van

Vihar, this ancient temple, which is associated with the legend of

the great Indian Epic Mahabharata, is also referred to as the

Dhungri Temple.

7. Lakhshmi Narayan Temple, Chamba

Situated in Chamba, the Lakshmi Narayan Temple, which is

dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is visited by a great number of devotees

each year. Constructed in the 10th century, this ancient temple,

which is regarded to be constructed by Raja Sahil Verma, owns

Lord Vishnu’s idol, made of marble stones brought from the

Vindhya Mountains by the sons of the king as per the legend.

This ancient temple is counted among the most visited holy

shrines in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
