Chamunda


This is one of the most popular Chamundi devi temples and is located in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh.

The speciality of this temple is that it is situated bank of Baner Khad (Banganga), a tributary of Beas river.
The river is actually at the back yard of this temple and gives a picturesque backdrop to this temple which is otherwise beautiful too..!
