Vajreshwari Devi Temple, Kangra, Hindu temple in Kangra, India
The temple stands on a hilltop with a golden dome visible from far distances, surrounded by the mountains of Himachal Pradesh.
After its destruction in the 1905 earthquake, the government reconstructed the temple while preserving its religious and architectural elements.
The temple forms part of the northern Indian pilgrimage circuit of nine goddesses, starting from Vaishno Devi and ending at Shakambhari Devi.
Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Kangra town, with accommodations available in nearby Dharamshala and McLeodganj.
The temple houses a small shrine of Bhairav and a statue of Dhaynu Bhagat, who offered his head to the goddess during Emperor Akbar's reign.
