About

Katarmal Sun Temple, located in the Kumaon region near Almora in Uttarakhand, is an ancient and rare temple dedicated to the Sun God (Surya). Built by the Katyuri Kings in the 9th century, this architectural marvel is renowned for its intricate stone carvings and unique design, making it one of the few temples in India dedicated to Surya. Positioned on a hilltop at an altitude of approximately 2,116 meters, the temple offers stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges and the surrounding valley.

Over the years, the temple has become an important historical and cultural site. Its remote and serene setting attracts visitors looking to explore ancient Indian architecture, spirituality, and breathtaking natural surroundings.
