Tara Devi Temple, Shimla Overview

Tara Devi Temple sits atop a hill about 7 km from Shimla, built in 1766 and dedicated to Goddess Tara, worshipped here as the goddess of stars. It's a quieter, more spiritual stop than Shimla's more visited temples, with a special puja held during Ashtami in Sharad Navratri drawing larger crowds. The climb up is part of the experience, with views over the surrounding hills.

One can also enjoy some fantastic views and sceneries from this area.
