Bajreshwari Devi Temple

Also known as Vajreshwari Temple, Kangra

The Bajreshwari Devi Temple is a Hindu temple to the goddess Vajreshwari in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, and one of the major goddess shrines of northern India. Its great wealth attracted Mahmud of Ghazni, who plundered it in 1009, and it was attacked again by later invaders. Destroyed in the earthquake of 1905, it was rebuilt soon after.
