The Shri Katas Raj Temples, also known as Qila Katas is a complex of several Hindu temples connected to each other by walkways. The temple complex surrounds a pond named Katas which is regarded sacred by Hindus. The complex is located in the Potohar Plateau region of Pakistan’s Punjab province. The temples are located near the town of Choa Saidanshah, and are near the M2 Motorway. It is open for visit between 9 am to 6 pm.
The temples play an important role in the History of Hinduism, the Mahābhārata, is traditionally believed to have been a place where the Pandava brothers spent a significant portion of their exile. It is also believed by Hindus that this site was where the brothers engaged in a riddle contest with the Yakshas, as described in the Yaksha Prashna. Another tradition states that the Hindu deity Krishna laid the foundation of the temple, and established a hand-made shivling in it.
