Maharani Temple Tourism

Type of destination: Religious Site

Closed in: None

Maharani Temple, also known as the Mohineshwar Shivalaya, is situated in the small yet historic town of Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush green meadows, it stands as an epitome of the religious harmony that characterizes Gulmarg. The temple was built by Maharaja Hari Singh's wife, Rani Mohini Bai Sisodhia, in the early 20th century and is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It occupies a significant place in the hearts of the local population and is distinct for its architecture that conveys a blend of local and colonial styles. Perched on a small hillock in the middle of Gulmarg, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The temple's rich history, coupled with the serene and spiritual environment it fosters, draws not only pilgrims but also tourists from all over the world. It has managed to preserve its old-world charm and remains a place of solace away from the bustling city life.
