Abstract

Jwalamukhi temple is the place of one of the fifty-one Shaktipeethas of Maa Durga. The temple plays an important role in the socio-economic conditions of the state. The temple along with an important hub of religious activities has been a significant place of social and economic activities which with the passage of time have increased both in degree and nature. The present paper seeks to look into the socio-economic role of the Jwalamukhi temple both in the lives of the people of the area and also in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
