According to legends, after Goddess Sati self-immolated during Daksha\u2019s yagna, Lord Shiva wandered the universe in grief, carrying her body. During this journey, parts of her body fell at different places, which later became known as the <strong>Shakti Peethas<\/strong>. The Bhimakali Temple is said to be the spot where Sati&#8217;s ear fell.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the temple was also the royal family\u2019s temple of the former princely state of <strong>Bushahr<\/strong>, and Sarahan served as its summer capital. The temple complex includes ancient shrines of Lord Raghunathji, Narasimha, and other deities. It has witnessed many renovations due to earthquakes and time, and its survival over centuries is often considered a miracle in itself.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting myth related to the temple speaks of a <strong>secret tunnel<\/strong> that connects it to the nearby village of <strong>Ranwin<\/strong>, used in the past by priests and royalty during times of emergency or for rituals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"architecture-%e2%80%93-an-artistic-and-structural-wonder\"><\/span>Architecture \u2013 An Artistic and Structural Wonder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bhimakali Temple is a true example of <strong>Kath-Kuni<\/strong> architecture, a traditional Himachali style that uses alternating layers of wood and stone without using cement or mortar. This style provides resilience against earthquakes and extreme mountain weather.<\/p>\n<p>The temple features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slanted slate roofs<\/strong> with pagoda-style layering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ornate wooden carvings<\/strong> on doors, balconies, and walls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silver-plated doors<\/strong> with depictions of gods and mythological scenes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two towers<\/strong>: The older one (about 800 years old) and the newer structure built in the 20th century.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fusion of Buddhist, Hindu, and Tibetan architectural elements makes the temple unique among Indian shrines. The main deity, Bhimakali, is housed on the upper floor of the newer temple tower.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trending\">\n<div class=\"trending-title\"><strong>Top Shimla Itinerary Ideas for Your Trip:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"list-tag\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/7-days-shimla-manali-dharamshala-tour.html\">7 Days Shimla Manali Dharamshala Travel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/7-nights-8-days-shimla-manali-tour-from-delhi.html\">Shimla Manali Tour 8 Days from Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/4-days-shimla-tour-from-chandigarh.html\">4 Days Shimla Package from Chandigarh<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/golden-triangle-with-shimla-toy-train.html\">11 Days Golden Triangle With Shimla Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/5-nights-6-days-shimla-manali-tour-from-delhi.html\">6 Days Delhi Shimla Manali Itinerary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-reach-bhimakali-temple-sarahan\"><\/span>How to Reach Bhimakali Temple, Sarahan:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reaching Sarahan requires planning, especially because it lies in the higher altitudes of Himachal Pradesh.
