Sarahan Travel Guide
Apart from the 800-year-old Bhimakali Temple lording over the surrounding low houses, Sarahan is nothing more than a lethargic and remote town in the Kinnaur Valley. Dedicated to its eponymous mother-goddess, the house of worship imposes a rather strict set of rules regarding the Male dress code, as well as the things that cannot be brought inside the temple premises. Hats should be worn, and some can be borrowed at the entrance, where one is required to leave leather goods, cameras, and shoes. Inside is a modest collection of lamps and weaponry.
Just outside is the port-like Lanka Vir, where human sacrifices were made until the 18th century. The animals kept in the Drussehra are the ones offered as a modern alternative to humans.
