Located northwest of the Chaugan, Hari Rai temple was built in the 11th century by Salabhana. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the form of Chaturmurti. This stone temple built in the Shikara style stands on a stone platform and has beautiful carvings.
The 3 headed figure statue of Lord Vishnu at the temple is made out of 8 different materials. At the support of the temple there is a gorgeous statue of Lord Vishnu astride on 6 horses. The temple is also the dwelling of other deities like Lord Shiva, Surya and Aruna.
There are structures like the Gandhi Gate and the Fire Station Building right in front of the temple, blocking and hiding much of the temples request from the outside. However the Gandhi Gate built in 1900 to welcome Lord Curzon is the easiest attraction to find in Chamba because of its saffron color.
