Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Naranag temple is the main attraction for the tourists. It is one of the important archaeological sites of the country.[8] The site consists of a cluster of temples facing each other at a distance of about 200 meters.[9] Historians say that the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was built by Lalitaditya Muktapida, of the Kayastha Naga Karkota Dynasty in the 8th century AD. It is believed that the king Awantivarman paid a visit and donated a pedestal for bathing at Bhutsher.
It is also believed to be dedicated to the ancient Nagas. Hence, the name "Naranag". It was built by the Naga Karkotas, who are said to be Hindu Kashmiri Kayasthas of the Naga sect, known for their reverence of serpents. Its architecture reveals the art of the 8th century. The government has only constructed walls to protect it from encroachments and nothing else has been done. It is now left in ruins of which only faint traces have survived.[10] This temple has the typical Aryan structure as was present in Aryan Kashmir.[11] |
