Dada Siba Temple                                                      location :-  21 km from Dehra  Distt  Kangra (H.P.)

Dada Siba was a small state whose ruling dynasty was an offshoot   of the house of Kangra.Raja Ram Singh who ruled over the state about two hundred years ago, was a man of refined taste. The location of his palace on the top of a hill and the Radha Krishna temple built by him in the green thickness of a wooded place, seem to indicate that he had a sense of beauty.The walls of this temple are covered with murals.

The name of the artist (or artists) of these paintings is not known. These are somewhat inferior in style to the paintings at Dharamsal. A medley of themes are illustrated here. The drawing is flat with an accent on squat figures and the coloring lacks in luster; it consists mostly of dull shades of bottle green, red, orange and brown which are covered with a lusterless varnish.
As elsewhere in the hills, the Krishna  legend seems to have been very popular here as well. He is painted in association with the gopis and the cowherds and with Radha with whom he is shown in dalliance.

The theme of the subjugation of the Kaliya  snake also finds a place here, So does that of Krishna's marriage with Rukmini, which is seen in the Pindori Darbar murals too. There is  besides, one panel given to the theme of Kunjara –Kamini
Which is but a group of women (Kamlni) " arranged in the shape and form of an elephant (Kunjara), a theme which is quite popular with contemporary miniaturists . 
The Rama legend was also quite popular with the artists of this temple as is evident from the representations of Sita's svayamvara, Rama and Lakshmana killing rakshasas and Rama’s coronation with the other devatas paying homage to him. An interesting composition consists of an illustration of the darbar of Sugriva, where the monkey king is being offered homage by other monkeys.
Sikh influence had already penetrated deep in the hills by the time Dada Siba paintings were executed. A general reverence for Guru Nanak is indicated by a panel portraying the Guru sitting alone under a tree.
