Gauri Shankar Temple Himachal Pradesh

The lovely little 11th-century sikhara-style Gauri Shankar Temple is unusual in lacking a protective wooden roof, which allows unimpeded views of its delicate form from the road above. Gauri and Shankar, whose joyful-looking images can be seen inside, are versions of Parvati and Shiva. The exterior walls have a few carvings of dancers, musicians, animals and birds. It's on the steep, short-cut lane descending from the post office towards the Naggar Chowk bazaar/bus stop.
