Hadimba Temple

Far away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the peaceful Hadimba Temple is surrounded by towering deodar trees. It is also known as the Dhoongri Temple, as it is located inside the Dhoongri forest.

Mythology lovers must visit this temple as it is dedicated to Hidimba, the wife of Bhima, one of the five Pandavas prince from the great Indian epic Mahabharata. The temple has a four-tiered Pagoda shaped roof and its doorway is engraved with legendary figures and symbols.
