Raghunath Temple
The valley’s presiding-deity temple, established in the 17th century.
Kullu District
The valley’s administrative and religious center, home to the Raghunath Temple and the internationally recognized Kullu Dussehra festival.
The story
Kullu town sits at the confluence of the Beas and Sarvari rivers and functions as the valley’s practical and religious center — a role Manali, further up the valley, doesn’t play. The Raghunath Temple, established in the 17th century by Maharaja Jagat Singh, houses the deity considered presiding over the whole valley, and each October the town hosts the week-long Kullu Dussehra, recognized as an international-level fair.
