The temple is believed to be more than 250 years old and holds strong cultural and religious importance for the people of Himachal Pradesh.

The peaceful surroundings, scenic views, and spiritual energy make this temple a must-visit destination for families, devotees, and travellers looking for a serene mountain experience.
