Bhimakali टेम्पले
Situated in Sarahan in Himachal Pradesh, the Bhimakali Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths. The architecture of the temple is its prime highlight. The temple is wooden and presents a wonderful combination of the Hindu and Buddhist Temple style.
An interesting story is connected with this temple. The old temple, during the earthquake of 1905, got a bit tilted. However, with another following tremor, the temple straightened on its own! It is also believed that there is a secret tunnel in the temple which was earlier used by the priests to reach the village of Ranwin.
By the side of the old temple, a new one was constructed in the year 1927, and today it houses a two centuries old image of goddess Bhimakali at its first floor. This image is not open throughout the year for worship, however, the one at the second floor is definitely worshipped daily. The other temples in the complex are dedicated to Lord Narsingha and Lord Raghunath.
