RAGUNATHAN TEMPLE
Raghunath is the chief deity of Kullu. Dussehra festival is held in its name. The idol of the deity has a historic background. This idol is said to be the same which was used by lord Rama himself at the time of performance of Ashwamedh Yagya and was brought from ‘TRETNATH Temple of Ayodhya’. The temple is a mixture of pahari and pyramidal style in construction and was built in 1660 AD. Puja is held here five times a day and 45 festivals are held round the year.
It is said that Raja Jagat Singh used charanamrit of the idol for 42 days and was absolved from the evil effect of the course of a Brahmin Durga Dutt.
