Masroor Temples, Rock-cut Hindu temple complex in Kangra district, India
The Masroor Temples feature a collection of 15 temples carved from a single rock, with intricate designs and multiple shrines forming a symmetrical layout.
Dating from the 8th century, the temple construction was interrupted during the 1009 invasion by Mahmud of Ghazni, who plundered the Kangra region.
The central shrine contains sculptures of Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana, and Goddess Sita facing east, with Lord Shiva depicted above the main entrance.
The temple complex stands at 733 meters elevation and requires private transportation from nearby cities, as public transport services remain limited.
The architectural design shares similarities with Cambodia's Angkor Wat temples, indicating cultural connections between ancient Indian and Southeast Asian civilizations.
