Bijli Mahadev Temple : It is set on a spur that offers some spectacular views. The temple is famous for its high staff that periodically draws lightning which shatters the Shivlinga and scorches the building. Using only butter as adhesive, the linga is then carefully pieced together by the temple pundit.
Ram temple : This is located near the Yamuna bridge. With exquisite marble work, this was built in 1889 in memory of raja Partap Chand of Kangra by his wife who originally belonged to Sirmour.
Parashurama Tal and renuka Temple : At the base of the Renuka lake, this large pool is considered to embrace lord Parshurama, who wished too spend all eternity at his mother's feet. Reportedly built overnight by an invading force of Gurkhas in early 19th century. The original temple of Renukaji is here.
