The 16th century Hadimba Temple is surrounded by cedar forests. The beautiful setting of the temple is a major attraction. The temple is dedicated to Hadimba, the wife of Bheema, one of the five heroes of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The wooden doors of the temple are intricately carved and depict the forms of the Earth Goddess, Durga. The temple does not have an idol of the Goddess but a huge stone carrying her footprint is kept there. -
