Best Places To Visit In Kangra
Kangra : As one of the world’s oldest surviving royal dynasties, the Katoch dynasty is based in Kangra. Kangra is by far the state’s largest region, stretching across the western part of the state. The valley is also one of the most varied and beautiful, lying in the shadow of the majestic Dhauladhar ranges. The locals are hospitable, hardworking, and gentle.
Over 3,500 years ago, Kangra’s history was recorded. The prosperous land was invaded numerous times, but the strong fort of Kangra stood firm and foiled most of the invaders’ plans. Even during a siege in 1615 AD by Akbar’s Mughal armies, the fort held up. Over its thousands of years, the fort’s defenses were rarely breached.
After the decline of the Mughal empire in the 17th century, the land’s natural beauty provided a haven for artists and artists who had to flee numerous royal courts. The well-known Kangra school of painting was the result of combining local art forms. This one-of-a-kind art form has miniature masterpieces on display in numerous reputable galleries worldwide.
