Narayan-Nagini Temple

Himachal Pradesh


This typical collection of Kinnauri-style temple buldings lies behind Kalpa Fort. It's primarily dedicated to Durga, with naïve sculptures of tigers (one of Durga's vehicles) featuring strongly, though dragon carvings evidence the strong Tibetan influence in this region.
