Built in 1553 CE by Maharaja Bahadur Singh, it is dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, wife of Bhima from the Mahabharata. The temple features unique pagoda-style wooden architecture with a 24-meter tower and is built around a natural rock formation worshipped as the deity. It remains a significant spiritual and cultural landmark surrounded by ancient cedar trees.
