Raghunathji Temple




Raghunathji Temple is an ancient temple situated in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh. The temple enshrines the idol of Lord Raghunathji in his chariot. This 17th century temple was build by Raja Jagat Singh of Kullu, after obtaining an image of the Lord from Ayodhya to atone for some grave sin he had committed.

The temple is considered one of the holiest spots in Kullu.

Dussehra festival celebrated here is a major draw. During this festival, the idols from the adjoining temples are brought here for a special ceremony dedicated to Lord Raghunathji.

The temple can be easily accessed from Kangra Bus Station.
