Shiva Temple, Jagatsukh

An 8th-century stone temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, built in the Nagara Shikhara style in Jagatsukh, the former capital of the Kullu kingdom, 6-7 km from Manali. The tri-ratha sanctum houses a Shivalinga with niches featuring idols of Surya, Vishnu, and Brahma. Believed to have been the royal temple of the Kullu kings, it is one of the most significant examples of early Pahari temple architecture in the Kullu Valley and a must-visit for history and heritage travellers.
