Masroor Rock Cut Temple, also known as the Himalayan Pyramids, is an archeological gem located in Kangra District near Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India. Carved out of a single rock, this monolithic temple complex dates back to the 8th century AD and is attributed to the North Indian Nagara architectural style. It consists of 15 rock-cut temples, which are richly adorned with sculptures of Hindu deities such as Lord Ram, Lakshman, and Goddess Durga. The intricate carvings on the temple walls and the exemplary workmanship exemplify the artistry of the ancient Indian sculptors. Set amidst the backdrop of the majestic Dhauladhar range, the temple offers panoramic views, which adds to its mystical charm. This temple complex mirrors the more famous Ellora Caves in its grandeur and is a significant yet lesser-known archaeological site. Masroor Rock Cut Temple is a testament to the religious and cultural heritage of India and is a source of intrigue for historians and tourists alike.
