Kalachakra Temple
Admire the intensely colored vermilion and gold façade of Kalachakra Temple, a small, tranquil Buddhist temple in the busy McLeod Ganj market. With mesmerizing interior decorations, the temple features a contemporary Tibetan Buddhist mural on cotton applique, which depicts 722 deities and the central Kalachakra image. All of the temple's columns and walls are painted with Tibetan "thangka" symbols. Spin a prayer wheel and burn an incense stick at the temple, which has a special connection with the current Dalai Lama, who supervised the creation of its murals.

It is situated on mall road, exterior structure looks very beautiful and a lots of shades of colors has been used to color the temple but main entrance door being locked so you are unable to see interiors so the attraction of temple which brought you here will let you down, the temple is surrounded by lots of shops.
