The site was already damaged but still in decent condition in the late 19th-century . Hargreaves wrote that , " the remote situation and general inaccessibility of the temples have been at one the cause of their neglect and of their fortunate escape from the destroying hands of the various Muhammadan invaders of the valley " . In the 1905 Kangra earthquake , the Himachal valley region was devastated . The site was affected , the temple parts cracked and tumbled , but because the temple was created out of the stone in-situ , its monolithic nature left many parts of the temple standing , while it destroyed numerous other ancient monuments in the Himachal region
