Kangra / Chamunda

Chamunda is seated at Jadrangal village in Kangra area located on the right bank of Baner Khad (Banganga), a tributary of Beas river. There is a Siva lingam under the rock where the temple of Chamunda is sited. There are no legends about the lingam. The idol is called Nandikeswar. So the sacred site is called Chamunda Nandik- eshwar.

Chamunda Devi Temple is situated 10 km west of Palampur, on the Baner River. A wrathful form of Durga (Chamunda) is worshipped here. The idol is considered so sacrosanct that it is completely hidden beneath a red cloth. Scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Devi Mahatmya are depicted on the walls. On either side of the Devi's image are Hanuman and Bhairo.
