Lakshmi Narayan temples
Dalhousie, Chamba, India
About
Regarded as the oldest as well as the largest one in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, the Laxmi Narayan Temple attracts a whole lot of visitors. The six temples in the Laxmi Narayan Temple complex are arranged from north to south and are dedicated to either Shiva or Vishnu. Lakshmi Narayan Temple Complex is the largest and the oldest, dating back to the 11th century and dedicated to Indra, Shiva and Vishnu. At the Gauri Shankar Temple within the complex, iron grills and innumerable pieces of cloth camouflage the deity, making it impossible to decipher how the statue is actually carved.
