Nestled high in the Tirthan Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the temple of Goddess Kurukulla in the village of Kotla (Banjar Valley) is a remarkable spiritual destination deeply embedded in the Himalayan Siddha-tradition. The temple stands as a living link to the ancient tantric lineage of the Kaulantak Peeth, where the Goddess is worshipped as the Kula Devi — the supreme feminine power who manifested for the reception of Tantric knowledge.
Beyond its natural beauty, the site is distinguished by its rich ritual culture: the temple upholds rare forms of worship including the “Deva Ratha” (divine chariot-palanquin) of Kurukulla, traditional female shamans (Bhāravīs) who carry the living legacy of the Goddess’s healing and esoteric practices, and a remarkable union of folk and tantric traditions unique to this valley.

Accessed via a link road from NH-21 near the Aut Tunnel, the journey to the temple itself becomes a pilgrimage through wooded slopes and mountain vistas — reminding visitors that this isn’t just a temple, but a portal into a living Himalayan spiritual ecosystem.

Thus, the Kurukulla Temple at Kotla is much more than a scenic Himalayan sanctuary — it is a vibrant centre of spiritual heritage, mystery and devotion, inviting those drawn not only by the beauty of the valley but by the deeper call of the Goddess.

Wishing everyone abundant greetings of Diwali from Kaulantak Peeth team. This year, Mahasiddha Ishaputra celebrated Diwali at the sacred Kurukulla Temple. Despite facing immense hardships and challenges, we performed the Diwali puja with utmost devotion at the feet of Bhagwati.
All roads leading to the Kurukulla Temple were completely blocked, yet Mahasiddha Ishaputra, accompanied by all the Bhairavs and Bhairavis, walked on foot with unwavering determination and reached the temple. There, we lit many lamps (deep), illuminating the entire premises of Bhagwati with radiant light, making it sparkle gloriously.
Following this, we conducted the grand puja and aarti of Bhagwati amidst great fervor, joy, and celebration. In this way, even in the face of tough circumstances, we ensured that Bhagwati's temple did not remain desolate. Instead, we celebrated Diwali right at Her divine feet, filling the space with devotion, light, and triumph over adversity.

So, let us all come together and contribute our share for the reconstruction of Her temple.
