Chamunda Devi Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:13:19

Reached by a steep 378 steps up from near the bus stand (or by taxi), the Chamunda Devi Temple, built in 1762, is well worth the climb for its wonderful views over the town and valley. It's dedicated to a wrathful aspect of the mother goddess Devi and is a rare (for Chamba) single-storey wooden temple. The mandapa (pavilion) fronting the shrine features a forest of bells and detailed ceiling carvings.
