the Story
Spiritual & Cultural Significance
Katarmal Sun Temple isn’t just an archaeological site—it’s a living heritage. Surrounded by breathtaking Himalayan views, the temple is known for its sunrise alignment, where the first rays of the morning sun hit the main deity. It has been a spiritual centre for centuries and is now being promoted under heritage tourism initiatives.
