Quick answer

The Maharani (Rani) Temple sits on a small hillock in the middle of Gulmarg, a Shiva temple associated with the royal family of the Dogra era. Its red roof is visible across the meadow, and the short climb gives a good view over Gulmarg. It's a quiet stop and was featured in a well-known Bollywood song.
