 Tourism in Sarahan is dealing with the tourists’ spots where one can find the number of temples and the other nature and leisure tourism sites. Some of the tourist’s attractions like Bhimakali Temple, King's and Queen's Palace, Jujurana, Hawa-Ghar and many other tourists sites.
Bhimamali Temple Bhimakali Temple is an iconic structure housing the Kuldevi (the presiding deity of the dynasty) of Bushahr Kingdom. Bhimakali Temple is noteworthy in that it contains both Hindu and Vajrayana Buddhist statues and decorations which reflect the trade through here between India and Tibetan regions through ancient Indo-Tibetan Road. The traces of old Indo-Tibetan road still pass through Shalabag near Sarahan. It also shows Kushana dynasty influence in its architecture and possibly some of the images in it are Kushana. There are two adjacent identical looking temple buildings. The temple is built in Indo- Tibetan style of architecture. The alternate rows of grooved and interlocked stones and wood provide flexibility and strength to the walls. The thick walls with lower roofs found in typical mountainous region buildings provide warmth during winters. The Bushahr kings are believed to be dynastic priests of the temple and used to reside in temple premises before moving to palace some 100 meters from temple. Artistic wood work on the temple is worth appreciating. King's and Queen's Palace King's and Queen's Palace in Sarahan is comparatively recent buildings of modern era. The palaces are generally not open for visitors, though they can roam around in the garden, orchard, around the palace and take pictures. The royal family don’t live there any longer and visit occasionally during Durga Puja Festival in October. Jujurana
