Besides, it has been a home to innumerable ancient and magnificent wooden temples, Buddhist monasteries and traditional wooden houses. All these aspects have been studied in detail in this book. Some of the finest examples of longevity of this timber are the more than 1300 years old Lakshana Devi Temple at Brahmaur and the Shakti Devi Temple at Chitrari, both in the interiors of the Ravi Valley of Chamba (Himachal Pradesh), the Markula Devi Temple in the Chandrabhaga Valley and an ancient Dakshineshvar Mahadev Temple in the Kurpan Valley at Nirmand.
