An age-old temple and traditions
As you ascend the winding paths of Ramshila Hill, you'll notice ancient stone sculptures dotting the hillside, hinting at the sacred structures that once graced these slopes centuries ago.
Crowning the summit, you arrive at the temple, which has stood the test of time since its original construction, believed to date back to 1014 AD. While it has undergone renovations over the years, the temple exudes an aura of timeless reverence. Inside, you'll find idols of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshmana, their serene presence inviting devotees for spiritual contemplation.
Just before the main temple, a pavilion built in 1811 serves as a gathering place for Hindu devotees during the Pitrapaksh (a time period dedicated to ancestors in the Hindu calendar), when they offer sacred Pinda Daan in honour of their ancestors. Within the temple complex, you'll also discover a three-hundred-year-old Shiva temple, housing a foot-tall Shivling carved from rare rock crystal and a five-foot idol of Lord Ganesha.
Soak in the serenity of the landscape and spiritual ambience of this hidden gem, where nature, mythology and devotion intertwine, creating an experience that will leave you enchanted.
