This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and dates back to 11th century. It was probably 
built by Salabahana. This temple lies in the north-west corner of the main Chaugan, which had became the official entrance to the town by the end of 19th C. A steep path leads to the old Shitla bridge, which was constructed in the year 1894. The temple is built in Shikhara style and stands on a stone platform. The Shikhara of the temple is finely carved. This is one of the major old temples, which is away from the old township and the only one near the Chaugan.

About Akhand Chandi Palace
January 19th, 2010 by admin
The Akhand Chandi Palace in Chamba should be seen as soon as possible. Its intricate wooden carvings, glass work, painted walls; the specially commissioned 
ceiling is deteriorating because there are no funds to restore them. Raja Umed Singh built this palace as a place for himself and his family to live in somewhere around the middle of the 18th century. Later kings like Raja Sham Singh, Capt. Marshall and Raja Bhuri made their own modifications to the beautiful palace. Much later, the palace was sold to the government. Stand at this monument to flamboyant good taste and you are treated to a magnificent view of the Chamba Valley, Chaugan, Laxmi Narayan Temple, Sui Mata Temple, Chamunda Devi Temple, Rang Mahal, Hari Raj Temple and Bansi Gopal Temple. Definitely not a sight to be missed on your visit to Chamba Valley.
Rang Mahal | Rang Mahal History
January 19th, 2010 by admin
One of the largest monuments, Rang Mahal is located in Surara Mohalla. The foundation of Rang Mahal was laid by Raja Umed Sing (1748-1764). The super structure of RangMahal,
which is in brick belongs to a later date with its southern portion built around 1860 by Raj Sri Singh. The architecture of Rang Mahal is an amalgam of Mughal and British styles. This palace was the residence for a branch of the ruling family. Its fort like looks justify its use as royal granary and treasury which is on its western side. Once the palace must have hummed with activity of busy servant and the frolics of the royal blood but now under the aegis of Handicrafts Department of the State Government, most of the rooms of this palace are being used as work-shops for making shoes, chapples and rumals. A number of decorative and colorful wall painting have been removed and taken to National Museum of Delhi. Some of the wall paintings and richly painted doors of the palace can be seen preserved in the Bhuri Singh Museum of Chamba.
