Baijnath Temple, Himachal Pradesh, Hindu temple in Kangra District, India.
The Baijnath Temple features stone structures with intricate carvings depicting deities, alongside a central sanctum measuring 8 square feet inside and 18 feet outside.
Two merchant brothers, Manyuka and Ahuka, constructed this temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in 1204 CE, as documented in Sanskrit inscriptions using the Sharada script.
The temple maintains Sanskrit inscriptions that detail construction specifications, name the architects, mention donor merchants, and reference the region's former name, Nagarakot.
The temple remains open throughout the year and visitors can reach it via the Pathankot-Jogindernagar railway line or through roads connecting Mandi-Kullu and Kangra-Palampur.
The temple survived the devastating 1905 Kangra earthquake with minimal damage despite being near the epicenter, demonstrating exceptional structural engineering.
