Katarmal is a remote village located in Kumaon Division, in Almora District, Uttarakhand, India.
Katarmal is from Kosi village, from the district centre, Almora[1] and from Nainital.[2] Located at a height of above sea level, it is well connected by road, from Khairna, Garampani Nainital, Haldwani and from Ranikhet and Kausani, the nearest connecting point being near Kosi village.[1] The G.B. Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development, established in 1988, serves as a nodal agency for research and development and was established here by the government of India.[3]
Katarmal is known for a relatively rare Surya temple, constructed by the Katyuri Kings in the 9th century CE[1] and bears witness to the architecture of the day. Masons of the time used a mixture of lime and lentil paste to make the adhesive agent.[4] Katarmalla, a Katyuri king, constructed the temple, which has 44 smaller temples around the main deity of Surya, called Burhadita or Vraddhaditya.[2] Other deities like Shiva-Parvathi and Lakshmi-Narayana. are also established in the temple complex. The carved wooden doors and panels were transported to the National Museum, Delhi, after an idol from the 10th century was stolen.[1] The temple, which holds other carvings on the walls and panels, was declared a monument of national importance under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958.[1]
