  • I went to Gauri Shankar Temple. The temple is a small structure carved out of stones but has immense historical importance in the region. Tourists and devotees of Shiva mostly visit it. It is great...

  • This temple was very close from my stay. This is must visit place in naggar. You feel positivity at this place. Locals told us this was build during Mahabharat by Pandavs. Whenever you visit this place just sit and meditate somewhere in corner or you can find a place outside temple's gate.
  • It is must visit place at Naggar. Close to the main road before reaching Naggar Castle, one comes upon the Gauri Shankar Temple. The sight of finely carved stone shikharas of the Gauri Shankar Temple comes as a pleasant surprise. It is set in a paved courtyard below the castle and is among the oldest temples around. It is a Shiva temple and has a lingam installed inside. According to the locals, the temple was unearthed in an excavation. It is now maintained by the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). The towering shikhara is a typical example of the temple architecture in north India; there is also a statue of Nandi (sacred bull) outside the temple. There is no roof on top of the temple and the various temple structures can be directly seen under the sky. The temple is made entirely out of stone and the smaller temples are dedicated to Narayana (an incarnation of Vishnu). This temple is widely respected for its architecture and also for the local belief that visiting this temple fulfils one’s wishes. A signboard indicates that the temple is a protected monument under the ASI.
