Malana. This ‘dharamsala’ features in 19 C travellers’ photos and engravings. I think it burnt down soon after I was there.
Malana, temple store, dense use of timber bonding and arched and carved balconies, ibex horns on the wall. The building and the group of women and children in front look so once-upon-a -time (including their expressions) that its hard to believe that it was me who took this photo, in 1971, it could have been taken by someone in 1900.

Manali village. Slate roof, timber balconies, stone paved courtyards. Gourds climbing on to roofs. In 1970 Old Manali and most villages looked like this. By the 1980s access to new building materials meant rapid change in locations with road access.
Near Katrain, village houses
Sanogi. Temple roof of timber. ‘Dharamsala’ roof of stone slab. Under a large ‘deodar’
