This temple from the eighth century, which was severely damaged in the 1905 earthquake, is nevertheless listed among the must-see attractions in Kangra. In the main temple hall of these one-of-a-kind cave temples in North India, Sita, Laxman, and Ram are worshipped. The Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Maharashtra are similar in many ways to this location. The most entrancing view of the Dhaulandhar range, which protects the rest of the town, may be found after you reach the summit by turning around and looking back.
15 enormous temples carved out of rock that are all equally impressive are secured by Masroor. The Indo-Aryan design of this archaeological site reflects the worldview of the Vedic era.
A local legend states that the Masroor Rock Cut Temple complex was constructed by the Pandavas of the Mahabharatha to serve as their residence while they were exiled from their kingdom. Draupadi, the Pandavas' consort, is said to have been the inspiration for the water reservoir in front of the complex.
