I visited it a few days ago and the weather was an absolute delight that day. The sky was super clear and the snow clad peaks were also visible from the area.
The temple is located at a height of 7200 ft above the sea level and is built in a pahari style. It is dedicated to goddess tara (star).
It is situated in shimla himachal Pradesh , india.

The temple is positioned in a thick forest of oak ond rhododendron and offers scenic views of the Himalayas surrounding the town.

It was built around 1766 AD and then rebuilt in 2108 . It is an ideal place for a person seeking peace and tranquility.

The word tara means star in English. The temple has a beautiful view around. One can reach the temple through a bus or a car.
