Within the town is a veritable roll-call of shrines. Apart from the emotions they evoke, they also have a wealth of classical architecture and ornate sculpture. Many of these are devoted to Lord Shiva - at the Triloknath temple he is depicted as the lord of the three worlds, at aspects.

At the Ardhanarisvara temple, Lord Shiva appears in a composite form with the right half as male and the left half as female - symbolising the male and female principles of the cosmic evolution.

At the Gyarah Rudra temple, the deity is famous as 'Amarnath darshan' takes place, the temple is decorated to resemble the Amarnath cave.
