"But the most celebrated sanctuary of Kangra District was the temple of Vajreśvarī in Bhavan, a suburb of Kangra town. From a remote age the spot was sacred but the temple which fell down in the earthquake was not an old one. An inscription preserved in the porch says it was built in the time of Śrī Mahammad (identified by Cunningham with Mahammad Sayyad who ruled at Delhi from 1533 to 1546). At the time of its foundation Raja Samsārchand was the king of Kangra." This temple has now been built again by the Hindu community.
