Neighbourhoods
Among a host of lesser-known temples dotting the sprawling Kangra valley, the ancient Shiva temple at Chamukha in Dehra subdivision of Kangra district is worth mentioning.
Nestling on the bank of the raging Beas, with the swaying grooves of mango trees offering a perfect backdrop, the temple is believed to be dating back to the Pandava era. The huge peepul tree under which it is located is also believed to be as old as the temple.
According to a popular legend, the site, where the temple bhavan stands, was an island inhabited by demons. The demons had made the lives of a group of sadhus living in the vicinity a virtual hell. During their "agyatvas", the Pandavas strayed into the the virgin woods of Chamukha. They too fell prey to the demons’ savage behaviour.
Sedately perched on a 40-kanal piece of land on the Kaloha-Nadaun road, the Chamukha temple is 10 km short of Nadaun, the place fabled for bounty and beauty; 4 km from Kaleshwar, also called the "other Hardwar"; Panjteerathi, a confluence of five rivers; 22 and 23 km, respectively, from Jwalamukhi, the goddess with a flaming mouth and Chintpurni, where the devouts’ wishes are granted
