Counted among the magnificent rock cut temples of India, the beautiful Masroor Temple is situated 40 km from Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. The temple is a unique monolithic structure and is also one of the most unexplored temples in Himachal Pradesh.
The main temple is dedicated to Lord Ram, Lakshman and Sita.From the temple premises, you can get an amazing view of the snow-clad Dhauladhar ranges.In the centre of the complex stands the principal and most elaborately carved shrine – the Thakurdwara. It enshrines black stone images of Ram, Lakshman and Sita facing east.
The entire theme of the temple carvings revolve around the festivity and coronation of Lord Shiva who is the centre of the Hindu pantheon.
The temple complex is believed to have been built by an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. Locals believe that the Pandavas built the Masroor Rock Temple during their period of exile.
