Hi Friends! This is my maiden video vlogging venture with a vlog about my journey to Masroor Rock Cut Temple in Himachal Pradesh. ock-cut Architecture is a testimony of human persistence in constructing magnificent structures by sculpting and cutting entire hills.
Rock Cut Temples in India present a different perspective on the building prowess of the past generations. The earliest
rock-cut architecture exists in the form of caves carved out of hills.
The first significant example of rock cut monolithic temple complex is located in Mahabalipuram (Tamil Nadu). Attributed to the King Mahendravarman-I in late 7th century CE, the complex comprises of five chariot form structures carved from single monolithic granite rock.
However, in North India rock-cut architecture is not commonly found. North Indian temples are based on the Nagara style. The Nagara style is distinct from the Cave temples and Dravidian style with respect to the spatial layout, form, and construction. The Nagara temples are mostly masonry construction in bricks or stone.
Masroor temples present an exception to the monolithic rock-cut temple architecture. Located in the Dhauladhar range of lower Himalayan region, Masoor temples are the only example of monolithic rock-cut temples in the sub-Himalayan region. More significantly, they are the only example of Nagara style temple built as the rock-cut construction. Since Nagara style of temples are mostly built as masonry construction while rock-cut temples are mostly cave temples, Masroor temples are a unique permutation of form and construction method.

The Masrur Temples, also referred to as Masroor Temples or Rock-cut Temples at Masrur, is an early 8th-century complex of rock-cut Hindu temples in the Kangra Valley of Beas River in Himachal Pradesh, India.[2] The temples face northeast, towards the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas.[1] They are a version of North Indian Nagara architecture style, dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, Devi and Saura traditions of Hinduism, with its surviving iconography likely inspired by a henotheistic framework.
