English: Chhatradi is a prominent and a large village which is situated on mountain spur on the left bank of Ravi at the height of about 1793 metres above mean sea level. It is 8 KM from Luna bridge, which is 40 KM from Chamba on the vehicular road to Bharmaur. Chhatradi is considered a tirtha because of the presence of a temple of Devi Adi Shakti,popularly called Shakti Devi the personificatio0n of the divine powers of Kali, but is more appropriately named Shiva-Shakti,the female energy or powers of Shiva.
The temple complex of Chhatradi is regarded as one of the oldest and the most sacrosanct sanctuaries of the hills. The wooden shrine ica.2nd quarter of 8th century AD),which houses the image of the Devi, is of a type peculiar to the Western Himalaya. The temple is only a cella surrounded by a circumambulatory gallery and topped by a slanting slate roof. The temple is elaborately decorated on its facade ceiling and pillars bin high refined wood carving of post Gupta style. The paintings on the outer wall of the sanctum represent the episodes from Purans and are of Raja Sri Singh's reign(1844-1870 AD). The life size ashtadhatu image (ca.2nd quarter of 8th century AD) inscription mentioning the name of master craftsman Gugga and his pattern Raja Meru Verman of Bharmaur. The name of the goddess is engraved as 'Shakti' on the dedicatory inscription. Among the other important images under worship in the sanctuary is a stone image of Karttikeya of 6th century, two metal idols of female deities of Yogini-Tara (8th 9th century),a bust in metal of Shiva(last quarter of the 8th century)shown on the pedestal holding a rosary and fruit in his hands, and a composite stone image of Gauri Shankar..
