Notwithstanding the temple, many people are apt to cross paths with Kangra, if only for the quaint location called Masrur.
Situated just 15 km away from Kangra, Masrur is well reputed for its rock-cut temples built in the Shikhara style.
All in all, there are 15 temples in this complex, dating back to the 10th century.
Upon closer scrutiny, one would see similarities between the carvings of these temples and those of the Ellora caves in Maharashtra.
It is inevitable that Kangra should hold a profusion of fauna. In particular, Pong Lake Sanctuary, located around 115 km from Dharamsala, is host to critters like the Sambar, Nilgai, Barking Deer, Wild Boar, Clawless Otter, and Leopard. |
