Sri Renukaji (also spelled Renuka Ji) is a Hindu shrine located on the shore of Renuka Lake in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India. The temple complex and adjacent wetland form a combined cultural, religious and ecological site centred on the veneration of the goddess Renuka, mother of the epic figure Parashurama. The wetland (Renuka Wetland) has been designated a Ramsar site and the surrounding area is protected as the Renuka Wildlife Sanctuary.
