History of Chehni Kothi, Banjar
Chehni Kothi is a 350-year-old fortified tower built in the traditional Kath-Kuni architectural style, located in Chehni village, Banjar, Himachal Pradesh. Originally constructed as a fort, this 12-storey stone and wood structure, built without cement or nails, now houses a temple and stands as a testament to Himachal’s rich heritage and craftsmanship.
About Kath-Khuni Architecture
Kath-Khuni, derived from ‘Kath’ (wood) and ‘Khuni’ (corner), is a traditional Himalayan construction technique. Unlike conventional methods, it uses horizontal timber beams instead of vertical columns, reinforced with criss-cross bracings. Layers of stone between the wood enhance stability, while slate tiles cover the roofs, making these structures durable and earthquake-resistant.
