Kathgarh Temple Tourism

Kathgarh Temple, one of the abodes of Lord Shiva and Parvati, is a popular pilgrimage site situated in the Kathgarh village of Indora tehsil, Kangra district near Pathankot, in Punjab, India. This temple is unique due to the six-feet long Shiva linga that is divided into two parts; with the larger portion representing Lord Shiva and the smaller part his consort Parvati. The Kathgarh Temple stands at the confluence of the Beas and the Choch rivers, offering a serene and picturesque environment that is not only perfect for spirituality but also for nature lovers. The architecture reflects the mix of Roman and Indian styles, and the temple complex is known for its religious significance as well as its annual fairs. Historically, the temple is believed to be thousands of years old, with links to the epic era of the Mahabharata. The ambience of the temple during the morning and evening Aartis is particularly uplifting. It is a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and spirituality in the lap of nature.
