Kathgarh Temple

Kathgarh Temple is dedicated to lord Shiva and Parvati and is characterized by an ancient lingam with mystical origins. The temple was said to have been visited by Bharat during his search for Lord Rama. The temple is located at the confluence of the Beas and the Chonch River. The temple is marvelously built in a roman styled architecture.

Kathgarh Temple also seem to have some connection with Greek invaders when they stopped there. The statue is about size of a human above the floor, and it is believed that same length is buried under the floor. It could be one of the statues of Apollo, which Alexander the great is described to have built and worshiped on high platforms to mark the spot from where he retreated.
