The
Tripura
Sundari
Temple
is
one
of
such
temples
that
are
of
great
historic
importance
in
Himachal.
The
temple
stands
as
a
massive
wooden
structure,
exhibiting
the
local
architecture
and
art
of
carving.
The
temple
is
dedicated
to
Goddess
Tripura
Sundari.
The
idol
of
goddess
is
enshrined
in
the
temple
with
21
masks.
This
temple
is
a
Pagoda
style
temple
made
of
deodar
wood.
The
temple
has
a
great
resemblance
with
the
Hidimba
Devi
temple
of
Manali.
The
top
of
this
three-tiered
temple
is
circular
with
a
pinnacle
crowned
by
a
Chhatra.
The
two
lower
storeys
are
characteristically
divided
by
squat
wooden
pillars.
The
temple
was
constructed
by
Raja
Yashodhapal.
There
is
a
belief
that
the
temple
is
in
a
form
of
a
web,
which
was
made
by
the
Goddess
after
turning
herself
into
a
spider.
There
are
the
stone
idols
of
Lord
Brahma,
Lord
Vishnu
Lord
Ganesha,
Goddess
Lakshmi,
Lord
Shiva
and
Goddess
Parvati
inside
the
temple.
A
30
cm
idol
of
Tripura
Rakshasa
(demon)
is
also
there
in
the
temple.
Sharhi
Jatra,
a
popular
fair
is
held
here
every
year
in
honor
of
the
goddess
in
the
month
of
May.
