Chamunda Devi Temple

Dating from 1762, this single-storey wooden temple is well worth the steep 378-step climb from near the Old Bus Stand for wonderful views over Chamba and the valley. It's dedicated to a wrathful aspect of the mother goddess Devi.

The mandapa (pavilion) fronting the shrine features a forest of bells and detailed ceiling carvings.
