Masroor Rock Cut Temple – Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

Carved out of a single monolithic rock, the Masroor Rock Cut Temple is an architectural marvel dating back to the 8th century. Located around 40 km from Kangra town, this temple complex comprises 15 intricately carved rock-cut temples dedicated primarily to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and other deities from the Hindu pantheon.

The temples, influenced by North Indian Nagara style architecture, are a testament to the craftsmanship of early medieval Indian artisans. The central shrine houses a sacred Shiva Lingam, and the layout reflects deep spiritual symbolism. The site also offers panoramic views of the surrounding Dhauladhar Range and a tranquil sacred water tank that mirrors the temple’s silhouette — a sight that adds to the mystic aura of the location.

Kangra Fort – Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

Perched on a strategic hilltop overlooking the confluence of the Banganga and Manjhi rivers, the Kangra Fort is the largest and oldest fort in the Himalayas, with origins that trace back to the Trigarta dynasty of ancient India. It has seen the rise and fall of multiple empires, including the Mughals, Sikhs, and British.

The fort’s massive stone walls, grand gateways, and ancient temples within—such as the Lakshmi Narayan and Ambika Devi temples—speak volumes of its rich legacy. Though partially in ruins due to the 1905 earthquake, the fort still retains its aura of power and grandeur.
