Bathu Temples, Himachal Pradesh, Hindu temple complex in Kangra district, India

The Bathu Temples form a cluster of eight religious structures constructed with stone materials that maintain their original colors and architectural details intact.

The temples were established by a regional ruler, with various narratives connecting their construction to the Pandavas from the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata.

The main temple within the complex serves as a dedication to Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, featuring images of Lord Ganesha and Mother Kali at its entrance.

The temples remain underwater for eight months annually due to the Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir, becoming accessible only from March through June.

Visitors can reach these submerged temples by boat from Dhameta and Nagrota Surian, or by road from Jawali during the dry season.
