Naggar, Himachal Pradesh

Situated on the left bank of river Beas at an altitude of 1,800 meters, Naggar is an ancient town in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India.

It was founded by the Visudh Pal and remained as the State headquarters until the capital was transformed to Kullu (Sultanpur) by Raja Jagat Singh.

[3] He ordered the labourers to form a human chain over the Beas river connecting its left and right banks to transfer the stones manually.

While most houses in the valley and the nearby city of Jawa were completely ruined, the castle's use of earthquake-proof techniques helped it sustain despite the calamity.

The Roerich Estate, his two-floor house, is now a museum and key attraction of the town featuring a collection of his popular paintings.

Himalayan Research Institute named Urusvati in Naggar. [ 4 ]
