Serene stay at Sarahan

Sarahan is a serene village in Himachal Pradesh, situated about 170 kilometres from Shimla. It is famous for the temple of Goddess Bhimakali. The Bhimakali Temple was originally known as Bhimadevi Temple. It is dedicated to the mother Goddess, the presiding deity of the rulers of the state which was known as ‘Bushahr State’ while it was a British colony. According to Hindu mythology, there are 51 Shakti Peethas. The Bhimakali temple is one of the 51 peethas. Hence, it is an extremely important site of pilgrimage.
Sarahan is known as the “gateway of Kinnaur” because of its proximity to the old Indo-Tibetan Road. The river Satluj flows below Sarahan at a distance of merely seven kilometres (which is equivalent to 17 kilometres by road). The small, serene village is identified with ‘Shonitpur’ which is mentioned in the Puranas.[2] Sarahan Bushahr used to be the summer capital of ‘Bushahr State’, with Rampur Bushahr being considered the winter capital. Apart from the famous temple and serenity and beauty of the village, there are a lot of other attractions like a warm stream of water at Jeori, the King’s and Queen’s palace, the Pheasantry which caters to the breeding of local species of birds, Hawa Ghar which is meant for taking in the view of the place and the stadium.
