Banni Mata Temple, Hindu temple in Chamba Valley, India

Banni Mata Temple sits at 2,600 meters elevation in a valley surrounded by oak forests and the Pir Panjal Range in Himachal Pradesh. Road improvements in recent years have made the location more accessible to travelers heading to this remote mountain site.

According to local tradition, a goddess manifested at this location following the deaths of four brothers from ancient narratives, and the site became a place of worship afterward. The temple has since remained a sacred destination for communities across the region.

Visitors from across the region come to this temple to seek blessings for family matters, prosperity, and healing from various conditions. The devotion takes place within a natural mountain setting that forms an integral part of the spiritual experience for worshippers.

Visitors should bring warm clothing due to the high altitude and cooler conditions, particularly during months outside of summer. Roads to the site have improved, but plan adequate travel time for the mountain journey.

A split rock formation at the site displays three natural cracks that resemble a sacred symbol from Hindu belief. This formation holds special significance for many visitors who consider it the spiritual center of the temple.
