Hindu Temples in Kaza

Kaza [11,980 feet above sea level] is divisional headquarter of Spiti region [Lahaul and Spiti District]. It is two days' driving journey from Shimla / Manali.


From Kaza town, a few Hindu temples are visible from a road near Sakya Monastery [above photo]. The Hindu temples and Sakya Monastery can be seen together in the photo below:


On the way to Hindu temples, we can view Kaza town, snow capped mountains, and Sakya Monastery.



The temples are relatively new.


No authentic information is available regarding foundation of the temples.


As Spiti Valley is predominantly occupied by people following Buddhism, there is a possibility that government servants / bank employees / army men might have built these temples.


Lord Hanuman's Temple is nicely painted.


Lakshmi Narayan's Temple was also there.


I appeal to all to share more information about the temples at Kaza.

  1. Dear Sachin: You are the King of Explorations , as I have shared with all concerned before too.Your blog of a religious spot at an altitude of 11,980 feet from sea level, is a unique feat.
    Suggest please ask yourself a question " How many people go
    to such remote destinations and write about it ?". I wonder
    whether you will get from anyone similar text for sharing.
    Wish, you continue in your endeavour and tell people about your courageous journeys. Best Wishes. Hem

  3. Though I was in the same trip but could not trek up to see this temple. The photo and descriptions came in handy.
