The Ancient Temple of Lord Shiva- Mangarh, Himachal, India
Mangarh is a beautiful
village in Sirmour district in the state of Himachal, India where there is
a historic Shiva Temple and a Ganesha Temple was unearthed recently. The Archaeological Survey
of India had taken this place into the possession in 1995-96 . The area has been declared as a national monument. The
exact period of Shiva temple and the Ganesha temple have not
been ascertained, but according to
the villagers the structures were built by the Pandavas during their exile
and some others says that the temple seemed to have been built during the
Gupta period. The ASI team visited this place and according to them the
temple was built in 5th century. This is a historic
temple and it is a 'must go’ place. One must visit this place during one's
lifetime. Route for this temple is Chandigarh-> Solan->Oachghat->Narag->Wasni ->Mangarh. It is merely 45 KM from Solan.

Tourist Places of Solan-2 Chail (Khatan Linga Bodh Monastery)
Chail is a beautiful place located at ft. above sea level in the Solan district of Himachal, India. It has the highest cricket ground, hotel palace, stunning Landscapes, and the most beautiful, a temple of Maa Kali situated on the top of a hill called Kali Tibba.
I started my journey from Solan on my bike. My eyes suddenly
struck on a board of a Buddhist temple on the way at a place named Dochi. I
turned the bike towards the temple and there was a beautiful temple of Buddha about
half a KM from the main road. It is a peaceful place and ideal for meditation.
The Buddhist monk welcomed me joyfully. He told me that the temple was built in
2009 and there are statues of Gautam Buddha and Padmasambhava. The architecture
of the temple is awesome. I spent half an hour in this temple and took some
photos of the beautiful temple, which I am sharing with you:
