Gauri Shankar Temple Naggar Himachal Pradesh
The temple of Gauri Shankar is situated immediately below the Naggar Castle in Naggar. Dating back to 12th century AD, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is believed to be the last monument of the Gurjara-Pratihara traditions. This Shiva temple is a protected monument.
The temple is famous for its splendid Shikhara Style architecture. The temple features a dome shaped top while the base is present in square shape. It has simple Shikhara having nine storeys and decorated with ardharatna motifs and ornamentations.
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.

Hi Friends Welcome to My Channel, Dreams of Backpackers
NAGGAR
Situated on the left bank of river Beas at an altitude of 1,800 meters, Naggar is an ancient town in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It was once capital of the Kullu kingdom. Naggar is located 22 kilometres (14 mi) north of the District headquarters at Kullu and 230 kilometres (140 mi) north of the state capital at Shimla.
Naggar Castle
It was the official seat of kings for centuries. According to a legend, Raja Sidh Singh used stones from the abandoned palace (Gardhak) of Rana Bhonsal to build the castle. He ordered the labourers to form a human chain over the Beas river connecting its left and right banks to transfer the stones manually. The castle survived the earthquake of 1905. While most houses in the valley and the nearby city of Jawa were completely ruined, the castle's use of earthquake-proof techniques helped it sustain despite the calamity.

Trip from Manali to Naggar Castle by Road, Himachal Pradesh, India.
Located in Naggar Town, amidst breathtaking forested hills, the Naggar Castle is a magnificent historical edifice. Made of stone and wood, this palace served as the residence of Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu. It was built in AD 1460 in an impressive amalgamation of European and Himalayan architecture. Fireplaces, fitting staircases, and magnificent stone and wood works grace the castle's interiors. There are three small shrines within the premises, each holding immense religious importance. For art lovers, Naggar Castle has incredible art pieces on display. Worth-mentioning are the paintings of Nicholas Roerich- the famous Russian painter. As souvenirs, you can take home traditional items like wall hangings, coasters and artefacts bearing imprints of Roerich's paintings from here.
In the year 1978, the castle was converted into a rest house, and more recently into a heritage hotel that is run by Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC). The holy Beas River flows close to the castle, adding beauty and sanctity to it. No trip to Manali is actually complete if you don't pay a visit to this attraction.
