Overview
Beginning a spiritual journey through the temples in Kangra district offers devotees an opportunity to connect deeply with the region's rich religious heritage. Among the top temples in Himachal Pradesh is the Bajreshwari Mata Temple, also known as Kangra Devi Temple, located in the town of Kangra. This temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas and holds immense significance in Hindu mythology. According to legend, the original structure was built by the Pandavas during the Mahabharata era.

Another prominent temple is the Baglamukhi Mandir Kangra, dedicated to Goddess Baglamukhi, one of the ten Mahavidyas in Hinduism. Situated in the Kangra district, this temple attracts devotees seeking victory over enemies and success in legal matters. The temple opens for darshan at 6:00 AM, with specific times allocated for Mata Ji Ka Bhog and temple closures for rituals.
The Chamunda Devi Temple, located approximately 19 kilometres from Palampur in the Dharamshala Tehsil of Kangra district, is another significant shrine. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Chamunda, a fierce aspect of Devi. The temple's serene location amidst lush green surroundings provides a tranquil environment for meditation and prayer.
