Description: Famously known as the Dhungri Temple, the Hidimba Devi deity is revered as the presiding deity of Manali. The temple, built over a cave shrine in a forest, is believed to enshrine the footprints of Devi, who was one of the consorts of Bhima, one of the five Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata epic. The temple architecture rises as a four-tiered pagoda that dates back to the 16th century.
