Naranag Shiva temple ruins

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:08:08

The first of two 8th-century Shiva temple ruins is immediately visible from the point where the paved lane into Naranag dead ends. The second is a short walk further up a narrowing, steep-sided pine valley beside a frothing river. The setting is beautiful and the ruins, which may in fact have Buddhist origins, are curiously eroded as though shaped by a flood.

There's no entrance fee nor fence so visitors are free to explore at will while Gajar kids play merrily in the ancient temple pool.
