Mall Road is the main street in Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, India. Constructed during British colonial rule, the Mall road is located a level below the ridge. The offices of municipal corporation, fire service, and police headquarters are located here. Automobiles, except emergency vehicles are not allowed on this road. For this reason, the locals — and tourists — are often found strolling on this road in the evenings.
Mall road has a number of showrooms, department stores, shops, restaurants and cafes. A Himachal emporium that offers handicraft products of Himachal Pradesh like locally designed woollen cloths, branded cloths, pottery items, and jewellery is also located here.[1] There are at least three books shops including one that sells old books.

Scandal point is where the Mall road joins Ridge road on the west side. The name arose from the commotion caused by the supposed elopement of a British lady with an Indian Maharaja. The story goes that the then Maharaja of Patiala had eloped with the daughter of the British Viceroy. This had led to the Maharaja being banished from entering Shimla by the British authorities. He countered the move by setting himself a new summer capital – now famous hill resort of Chail, 45 km from Shimla.
The most prominent feature of the point today is a statue of the Indian freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai (no relation to the scandal). Next to Scandal Point is the General Post Office, Shimla.
Gaiety Theater, located on the Mall, was opened on the 30th of May, 1887. Many popular film personalities have performed on its stage.
Today, the Gaiety is primarily known for its social club. Schools in Shimla use this theater for performing arts.
The theater has been renovated with the original structure untouched to
keep its heritage preserved while making it more attractive.
The temple was built in 1845. It is dedicated to the goddess Kali. It is believed that an ancient temple of Shamla i.e. the goddess Kali existed near Jakhoo. In the temple a wooden image is worshiped locally.
The recently renovated municipal corporation building of Shimla adds to the surrounding architecture, reminiscent of the pre-independence era. The building is preserved in its original form. The large steps and the entrance to this building are a common site for pictures depicting the Mall at Shimla. More than 5 crore Rs were spent in renovating this colonial architectural marvel

Kali Bari Temple is perhaps the only temple which is located at the vicinity of Shimla. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali who is known as Shyamala. It is often believed that Shimla received its name from the temple of Shyamala.
It was mainly constructed for the devotees who had to travel from Delhi to Simla and settled there for a long period six months or so.
Kali Bari Temple in Shimla is one of the popular sights of Simla that
remains overcrowded during the Navratris and Duga puja. Along with the
rituals the Kali Bari provides accommodation to its tourists who visit
the shrine along with the shrine at Kalka. Among all the deities of
Goddess Shakti, Kali has been revered in many forms. While some follow
the Shakti system of performing rituals other follow the tantric system
to worship the goddess. In both ways Kali has been considered as the
liveliest goddess who can create nature and can destruct the entire
'Brahmand' if she is not satisfied. Usually the rituals of Kali puja
include sacrifices of life forms. This has been replaced in Shimla Kali
Bari as well as Delhi Kali Bari which includes some more complicated
forms Vedic rituals.

teaches that pain, sorrow, decay, death, and destruction are not
overcome by denying or explaining them away. These are inevitable parts
of life and denying them is futile.For us to realize the fullness of our being and to realize our potential, we must accept these parts of existence.
