Himachal Pradesh
At the streamside on the lower concrete road around 400m east of the castle, the Tripura Sundari wooden temple consists of a pagoda-style sanctum with conical wooden topknot and a carved raised hall in front.
Sacred to the local earth/mother goddess, the existing building dates from around 1980, replacing a similar earlier structure, and the site itself has probably been sacred since pre-Hindu times.
