Today is Day 6 and we have planned for Dharamshala sightseeing today, but before that, we come to know about Char (4) Devi Darshan is very popular among tourists. ( Jwala Devi, Chamunda Devi, Kangra Devi & Naina Devi) Naina Devi is a bit far from Dharamshala if we go there then we have to skip Dharamshala, so we decided to visit only 3 Devis.
We started at 9 in the morning first we planned to visit Chamunda Devi, but on the way, there is Chinmaya Tapovan Ashram, you can visit there too. here you can find one huge statue of Hanuman, after a quick visit we started our onward journey, and within half an hour we reached Chamunda Devi, Commonly known as Chamunda Nandikeshwar Dham, it is a famous temple of Goddess Shakti who is the goddess of power. The temple complex holds a Kund in it where devotees take a holy dip in it because it has sacred importance. But during our visit, there is some renovation work is going on so we were unable to do so.
after that, we started for JwalaDevi, in an hour we reached Jwalamukhi, this temple dedicated to Goddesses Jwalamukhi. the temple is believed to have nine permanent flames named after the goddesses- Mahakali, Annapurna, Chandi, Hinglaj, Vindhya Vasni, Maha Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ambika, and Anji Devi. The temple is considered very powerful, hence count as one of the 51 Shakti-Pitha temples in India it believes that the Tounge of Sati fell here.
then we move further to Kangra Devi aka The Bajreshwari Devi Temple a popular Hindu pilgrimage site in Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh behind the crowded market of Kangra Town. It is said to be constructed by Goddess Bajreshwari itself at a place where once the famous Ashwamedh or horse sacrifice took place. It is said that the temple was not known as Bajreshwari Devi Temple when for first time it was built. According to the history of this region, the temple was attacked by Mohammad Ghazni, the notorious invader, and ruined in 1009. Later, the temple was reconstructed. It is in 1905, the temple got destroyed by a devastating earthquake. The temple is reopened to the public in 1920.
now its 3:30pm we finished our Lunch in Kangra and proceed to Dharamshala.
Our 1st spot in Dharamshala is HPCA Cricket Stadium, HPCA Stadium is a picturesque cricket stadium located in the city of Dharamshala, The picturesque venue is unique in India as it is situated at an altitude of 1,457 m above sea level and has the snow-capped Himalayan mountains in the background. The stadium served for Ranji Trophy matches and other domestic matches. The stadium also hosted some IPL matches etc.
While our visit there was some local match going on so we enjoyed it and move ahead for the next spot.
Just opposite to Stadium you can visit the War Memorial Museum, The Picturesque location of the war memorial itself is very beautiful with Pine trees in a row, all-round as if saluting the War heroes of the India-Pakistan war 1971 and of Kargil War. I loved the layout with the Huge India Map on the slope with colors, and other steps, paths, and gardens. The Photos of war heroes are displayed with the dates and other details. it was nice to be in the park as an homage to the Martyrs.
The park is open from 8 am to 8 pm. the entrance fee is Rs.10/- per person and Rs.5/- for children. The parking fee for a car is Rs.20/- and the bus Rs.40/-
Our Next and Last Point is Dal Lake, Quaint and calm, Dal lake is filled with greenish water. On the bank of the Dal lake, tourists can see the famous Shiva temple. The area around Dal Lake is a natural paradise. Dal Lake falls on the road to Naddi, one of the finest places in Dharamshala.
Naddi
At 2,000 meters above sea level and about one kilometer from Dal Lake, a modern picnic spot is developing fast at Naddi. It is the only place in Dharamshala from where an open view of mountains and wide valleys on the Dhauladhars' southern side can be seen. It is also a starting point for a trek to Kareri lake, Guna Temple, and Triund.
today is our last in Mcleodgunj actually we need more days here, we have skipped many places you can easily spend 5-6 days here, by covering Camping at Triund, Paragliding at Bir-biling and much more. we definitely going to visit here again.
and tomorrow we are leaving for Amritsar and visiting Wagah Border, Shri Harmandir Sahin (Golden Temple) Jalianwala Baug, etc.
so stay with us for more exciting Journeys.
Thanks for watching it.
