'''Chhatrari''' ([[Hindi language|Hindi]]छतरारी) is a village in [[Himachal Pradesh]], India. It is located 48&nbsp;km from [[Chamba, Himachal Pradesh|Chamba]].<br />
<br />
It is known for its Chhatrari Devi temple, which was built by King Meru Verman of [[Bharmour]], in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, at an altitude of 6000 feet above sea level (32° 28′ N and Long. 76° 10′ E). The main idol of this ancient 8th-century temple is of [[Shakti]], made of [[Ashtadhatu]] by a craftsman Gugga, 4 feet 6 inches tall which shows Shakti holding in her hands a lance (power, energy), a lotus (life), a bell (aether, space) and a snake (death and time). There is also an inscription with details of the temple, the king and his ancestors, the craftsman, and the locales of the village.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chhatrari Devi – Wooden temple in Himachal Pradesh |url=http://himtimes.com/chhatrari-devi-wooden-temple-in-himachal-pradesh/ |website=Himtimes |accessdate=26 July 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
Every year on the third day of the Manimahesh Yatra,<ref>[https://hpchamba.nic.in/manimahesh-yatra/ Manimahesh Yatra]</ref> devotees bring water from [[Manimahesh Lake]] and the idol of Shakti is bathed in it, with pious rituals. Its history is closely woven with that of [[Bharmour]], due to the Dharmeshvar Mahadev (Dharamraj) Temple in the northern corner of [[Chaurasi Temple Bharmour]], also built by Raja Meru Verman.<ref name="BV">{{cite web |title=Chhatrari |url=https://bharmourview.com/unexplored-destinations-in-himachal/108-chhatrari |website=Bharmour View |accessdate=26 July 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
The village has 36 water sources with ''panihars'' or fountain slabs, and surrounded by [[Cedrus deodara]] forests, as also housing an Industrial training Institute.<br />
