Tripura Sundari Temple, one of the oldest wooden temples in the region, located in Naggar, a historic village that once served as the capital of the Kullu kingdom, situated along the left bank of the Beas River.

At the streamside on the lower concrete road around 400m east of the castle, the Tripura Sundari wooden temple consists of a pagoda-style sanctum with conical wooden topknot and a carved raised hall in front.

Sacred to the local earth/mother goddess, the existing building dates from around 1980, replacing a similar earlier structure, and the site itself has probably been sacred since pre-Hindu times.
