There are two floating islands in the middle of the pond; they are sometimes hidden from view by the tall grass that grows on them.
Khajjiar, known as one of the "most charming spots in the Himalayas," derives its name from its ancient, golden-domed temple of Khajinag. The 12th-century Khajinag temple is a small shrine dedicated to the local Goddess or the Devi. This temple is also known as the Golden Devi temple, as it is adorned with a golden dome and spire. Pilgrims visiting the Chamba valley often come to this temple.
A nine-hole golf course is an added attraction at Khajjiar.
