Situated next to the Chaughan Gate in Chamba, Sri Hari Rai Temple is built entirely of woodwork and boasts of Shikhara style architecture with wooden chattris and an elevated platform base. The temple is enshrined by Lord Vishnu, in his three faced avatar- human, lion and boar riding on six horses. Built in the 11th century, the main idol is heavily adorned with rings, amulets, necklaces and kundals.
The temple also houses several other deities including Lord Shiva seated on a bull with Uma on his side and their mounts- the lion and nandi in the front, Lord Surya seated on a chariot etc. Imbued in the holy aura and architectural beauty, Hari Rai Temple can be discerned from other temples in the region in its saffron color coating.
