The Masroor temple is a rock-cut complex of the eighth century located in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh. Dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, Devi and Saura traditions of Hinduism, it is carved out of a sandstone monolithic rock. The temple complex features reliefs of major vedic and puranic gods and goddesses along with floral motifs decorating the columns.
Much of the temple’s sculpture and reliefs have been lost to earthquakes, but its architecture is a tribute to the artistry of unnamed artists who crafted this heritage for our country.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
