Wangath Temple complex, Naranag, Hindu temple complex in Ganderbal district, India.

The temple complex contains seventeen temples divided into two main groups, separated by 200 meters across the mountainous landscape near Naranag village.

King Lalitaditya Muktapida of the Karkota Dynasty constructed the temple complex during the 8th century CE, expanding upon earlier religious structures in the area.

The temples carry architectural influences from the Karkota period, built using local grey granite and featuring square designs with subsidiary shrines surrounding main structures.

Located 77 kilometers northeast of Srinagar, the temple complex serves as a starting point for treks to Mount Haramukh and Gangabal Lake.

The complex stands at a higher elevation above the Sind Valley, unlike other Kashmiri temples typically situated on valley floors or prominent hills.
