The Chaurasi temples complex is a group of 84 Hindu temples in the ancient capital of Bharmour in northern Himachal Pradesh. This is an important historic site because it preserves in remarkably good condition many temples, inscriptions and artwork from late Gupta empire era to 16th-century. This preservation was likely because it is deep in the Himalayan mountains, difficult to reach, and the site was largely inaccessible during the winter. Bharmour, also spelled Bharmaur or Brahmour, has one of the oldest wooden temples in Himachal. Most of the 84 temples, however, are small and date between 9th and 12th centuries.
The most important temples from archaeological and historical perspective in this group are of Lakshna Devi temple (Shaktism), Narasimha temple (Vaishnavism), Manimahesa temple (Shaivism), Yama temple, Bhramari temple (Shaktism), a late Gupta-era Brick temple, and Ganesha temple.
