In the 17th century, Raja Jagat Singh of Kullu committed a great mistake. To atone for the sin, he sent a senior courtier to Ayodhya for a statue of Lord Raghunath – Lord Rama. This temple was built by Raja Jagat Singh to house the image and even today, is greatly revered. Every year international fair Dussehra is celebrated with local deities in honour of lord Raghunath.

The main deity of Kullu is Raghunath Ji. Dussehra event is organised in its name. The idol is same which was used by Master Rama himself at plenty of duration of Ashwamegh Yagya and was introduced from Tretnath temple of Ayodhya. The temple was designed in 1660 AD with a combined look of Pahari and Pyramidal design. Everyday puja (aarti) is organised for five periods. Throughout the season, 45 celebrations are organised. It is said that Raja Jagat Singh used charanamrit of the idol for 42 periods and was absolved.
