Durga Temple is a major pilgrimage center and one of the Shakti Peeth in Himachal Pradesh. The Durga Shakti peeth is located in kangra distt Himachal Pradesh state (Nehran Pukhar, Himachal Pradesh 177104, India), surrounded by the western Himalaya in the north and east in the smaller Shiwalik (or Shivalik) range bordering the state of Punjab.
Balram Sharma, living in nearby Nehran Pukhar village, told me that he had seen the Beas covering the steps and flowing close to the temple in yonder days. Here I would digress and appreciate the villagers of Nehran Pukhar, who have constructed a beautiful temple of Durga on the lake (pukhar) itself through their own contributions and public donations. The initiative taken and efforts put in by Late Shashi Dogra, who had served in the IPS, in building it are still remembered by the people of Nehran Pukhar. The temple inaugurated in 2010 is a beautiful sight at night when its lights and their reflection in the water give star-studded vista.
