Jwalamukhi Temple :
The Jwalamukhi Temple, 30 km from Kangra, has an eternally burning blue flame that comes from the rock sanctum.
Perched on a ridge called Kali dhar is the Jwalamukhi temple.
With a gift dome and soaring pinnacles, the temples interior has a square pit, three feet deep with a pathway all around.

The shrine has no idol as such, the emanation of the gas is believed to be a manifestation of the goddess Jwalaji.
The nine flames have been named after goddesses - Mahakali, Unpurna, Chandi, Hinglaj, Bindhya Basni, Maha Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ambika and Anji Devi. Jwalamukhi is said to be the spot where the
