Devbhumi Himachal! (The Land of Deities)
That’s what my home is called. A land of mysterious beliefs, multitude of deities, and spectacular wooden abodes built for them hundreds of years ago. You will find stories from ancient times carved on a stone tower or exquisitely painted on wooden chambers of these ancient monuments.
These wooden temples are found all across the state, primarily in Kullu, Chamba, Mandi, Shimla, and Kinnaur. The landscape of these four districts is dotted with mountaintop wooden temples. Each one of these temples depicts the highest point of achievement of indigenous architecture during their respective era.
Here's one such wooden wonder that is probably one of the tallest such structure in the whole state. So much so that despite losing its top two storeys during the devastating 1905 earthquake, it still remains the tallest wooden temple of its kind.
