Bhima Devi Temple

The ruins of Bhima Devi Temple are an indication to the ancient history of the area. Lying a short walk from the Mughal Gardens, the Bhima Devi Temple ruins display figures of four-armed Shiva, colossal head of Bhairava and forms of Ganesha and Shakti. The ruins of the temple indicate that the temple belonged to the old Panchayatan group and antedate to the 9th to 11th century A.D.

Mughal Gardens/Yadavindra Gardens

The most fascinating attraction of the Pinjore valley are the majestic Mughal Gardens. The structures date to the 17th century AD. Planned by Nawab Fidai Khan, a cousin of Aurangzeb, and an architect of repute, the Mughal Gardens date back to 17th century AD.

The garden consists of awe-inspiring palaces, namely the Rang Mahal and the Sheesh Mahal. The Gardens were handed over to Haryana in 1966 AD when it was formed as a new state. The Gardens were the first and the only centre of tourist attraction at that time.

Morni Hills

On the opposite hillside of the Pinjore valley, lie the Morni Hills. Far from crowd and pollution, the hills here are over 3900ft above sea level. Crowned by a pocket of pine trees, the hills look green and blue. The area is quiet, with hardly a bus moving up the hillside. The greens are yet undisturbed.

Panchkula

This is a relatively new town. Panchkula lies 4 km from Chandigarh. There are many attractions in this model town like a Topiary Park, a Cactus Garden; Vatika Parkland along with well laid out roads and homes, against the background of the lower Shivalik hills.
