Gauri Shankar
Gauri Shankar submitted by motist : Gauri Shankar temple, Nagar, Kulu Vally. Ancient temple of Parvati in the Himalaya . Parvati is a Goddess consort of lord Shiva. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Gauri Shankar temple is about 40 meters from the main road. It is pyramid type of temple built in 8th century. Inside, the idols of Parvati and Shankar have been installed. Her fair is held in March April for three days that is locally called as Chachohli fair.

The Gauri Shankar Temple is crowned with an `amalkha` on top and with `chaitya` windows decorated with floral and geometrical sculptures. The temple stands on a high podium. The entrance portrays goddesses Ganga and Yamuna on their individual `vahanas`, carrying the lance of the Mother Goddess. They are flanked by Shaivite `Dwarpalas`. During nighttime, the Gauri Shankar Temple bathed in flood lamps, offers an awe-inspiring view. The temple is embedded in the socio-religious beliefs of Pahari culture. During Shivaratri, a huge fair is held, attended by thousands of devotees to attain piousness. To add to the temple's glory, it is considered a protected monument by the Government of India.
